Brief summary

The primary objective of this study is to characterize the real-world outcomes of spinal cord stimulation (SCS) therapy as an aid in the management of chronic intractable pain of the trunk, including unilateral or bilateral pain associated with the following: failed back surgery syndrome, intractable low back pain using the Boston Scientific (BSC) PRECISION Spinal Cord Stimulator System with MultiWave Technology.

Inclusion criteria

Key Inclusion Criteria: * Complaint of persistent or recurrent low back pain for at least 180 days prior to Screening * Willing and able to comply with all protocol-required procedures and assessments/evaluations * Subject signed a valid, ethics committee (EC)-approved informed consent form (ICF) provided in local language Key

Exclusion criteria

* High surgical risk * Previous spinal cord stimulation trial or is already implanted with an active implantable device(s) (e.g. pacemaker, drug pump, implantable pulse generator) * A female who is pregnant, is breastfeeding, or is of childbearing potential and planning to get pregnant during the course of the study or not using adequate contraception. * Participating (or intends to participate) in another drug or device clinical trial that may influence the data that will be collected for this study * Any diagnosis or condition that, in the clinician's best judgment, might confound reporting of study outcomes
