Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To demonstrate superiority over time in treatment of pain of best medical practice with adjunctive SCS Therapy compared to best medical practice without SCS Therapy in patients with chronic diabetic neuropathic pain as measured by VAS score. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To evaluate the efficacy over time of best medical practice with adjunctive SCS Therapy compared to best medical practice without SCS Therapy in patients with chronic diabetic neuropathic pain as measured by: • Response rates (greater than or equal to 50% reduction in pain intensity) at all visits. • Percent of patients that are pain free (>75% reduction in pain intensity) at all visits. • Mean and median percent change in pain intensity at all visits. • Pain free time during day and night. To compare the effects over time of best medical practice with adjunctive SCS Therapy compared to best medical practice without SCS Therapy on the following health outcome measures: • McGill Pain Questionnaire • EuroQoL 5D. • Changes in pain medication. • Compliance rates. To evaluate over time the safety and tolerability of best medical practice with adjunctive SCS Therapy using information on treatment emergent adverse events, device complications, and premature study withdrawal. | — |
