Key

Exclusion criteria

* Primary etiology for lower limb neuropathic pain not due to Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN). * Participating (or intends to participate) in another drug or device clinical trial that may influence the data that will be collected for this study. * Currently implanted with an active implantable device(s) (e.g., pacemaker, drug pump). * A female who is pregnant, lactating, or is of childbearing potential and planning to get pregnant during the study or not using adequate contraception.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Pain Relief in Limb PainUp to 12 months follow upPercent Pain Relief (PPR) in limb pain using a questionnaire where 100% is complete relief and 0% is no relief in pain compared with Baseline

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Global Impression of ChangeUp to 12 months follow upPatient global impression of change (PGI-C) at 3-, 6- and 12-Month Assessment Visit where patients use a seven-point scale to assess how much their condition has improved or worsened relative to their baseline. Subjects will rate themselves as: very much improved; much improved; minimally improved; no change; minimally worse; much worse; or very much worse.
