Doel van het onderzoek
The present mode of (tonic) SCS is accompanied by paraesthesia in the area of stimulation. Recently, a new mode of
SCS has been developed which makes it possible to apply spinal cord stimulation without paraesthesias. This mode is
called burst stimulation, in which is periods of stimulation are interspersed with periods without stimulation. Burst SCS,
makes it not only possible to stimulate without paresthesias, but could possibly also be more effective in the treatment of
neuropathic pain. In this study we want to evaluate which mode of SCS (burst stimulation, or conventional tonic
stimulation) is the most effective for the treatment of neuropathic pain.
Onderzoeksopzet
During the 6 weeks study period, the patients will visit the hospital every two weeks. During those visits the primary and secondary will be evaluated.
Onderzoeksproduct en/of interventie
Patients will receive two different SCS stimulator settings (burst and sham) each for a two week period.
