Prospective, randomized, multicentre, parallel, controlled, and double-blind trial. It is a study with 2 groups with evaluation pre and post treatment with Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) implantation of patients with Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS). The study has been designed to assess primarily non-inferiority and secondarily superiority of SCS DTM therapy
Over 18 years old patients, with leg with or without low back neuropathic pain (DN4 ≥4), previously undergoing low back surgery that, after an Evidence-Based (EB) medical therapy, can be eligible to SCS therapy following the Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines will be implanted of two leads in the epidural thoracic level with at least two poles (Medtronic Vectris) covering the T9-T10 interspace and, if the trial is positive, a Medtronic Intellis Internal Pulse Generators (IPG) will be implanted.
The patients will be randomized to two groups to compare the improvement of pain control, the functional state and the quality of life of the patients by SCS Therapy across 12 months.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| SCS with Conventional Stimulation | Experimental | In this group, a conventional stimulation with low frequency will be tried. It will be programmed according to the usual clinical practice looking for one or more combinations of poles that allow a coverage of paraesthesia with a conventional stimulation of at least 80% of the painful area. This programming will be modified until getting not only 80% coverage but also a decrease of at least 50% of pain in that area. |
|
| SCS with SCS DTM Stimulation | Experimental | IIn this group the SCS DTM™ workflow will be programmed. Each SCS DTM™ program group has at least two programs with different pulse rate in the 20 to 1,200 Hz range and each having a maximum pulse width of 1ms. |

| IPG with Conventional Stimulation | Device | In this group, a conventional stimulation with low frequency will be tried. It will be programmed according to the usual clinical practice looking for one or more combinations of poles that allow a coverage of paraesthesia with a conventional stimulation of at least 80% of the painful area. This programming will be modified until getting not only 80% coverage but also a decrease of at least 50% in that area. It can be reprogrammed as many times as necessary during the 14-21 days of margin. |

The patient will not informed about the treatment arm, but the presence of paresthesia is a factor that break the masking.
The care provider and investigators will not know the treatment arm and only collect the information in the forms.
