Comparison of HF10 Therapy Combined With CMM to CMM Alone in the Treatment of Non-Surgical Refractory Back Pain

A Multi-Center, Prospective, Pragmatic, Randomized, Controlled Clinical Trial to Compare HF10 Therapy to Conventional Medical Management in the Treatment of Non-Surgical Refractory Back Pain

This study is being conducted to document the safety, clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of high-frequency SCS at 10 kHz (HF10™ Therapy) delivered through the Senza system in subjects with chronic refractory back pain (with or without leg pain) who are not considered candidates for spine surgery. This study is a multi-center, prospective, randomized study to compare the two treatment groups.
