Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Subjects with hemorrhagic constitution or coagulation dysfunction (prothrombin time PT>=18s); 2. Subjects with implanted cardiac pacemakers, cardioverters or defibrillators; 3. Severe cognitive difficulties and/or difficulty in operating the instrument, making it difficult to make an exact evaluation of the effectiveness and safety of the instrument; 4.

Subjects who are pregnant or intend to become pregnant in the past year, and breastfeeding women; 8. Those with an expected survival period of less than 1 year.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| >=50% reduction in VAS score for pain compared to baseline at 180 days after start-up; and no increase in any pain medication compared to baseline at two weeks before the visit point; | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Evaluation of results of system impedance testing after surgical implantation;Change in percentage of subjects in pain (assessed by VAS) from baseline;Changes in subjects' ODI scores compared to baseline, as well as changes in neuropsychological scores;Non-permanently implanted subjects, change in percentage of subjects with pain (assessed by VAS) from baseline;Assessment of medication intake;Evaluation on operational performance of investigational equipment by subjects;Investigator's evaluation of operational performance of investigational equipment;Safety assessment - the evaluation endpoint was 180 days after power-on (for subjects with non-permanently implanted electrodes, the evaluation endpoint was 30 days after test electrode implantation); | — |
