Introduction
1 introduction
Welcome to the "Trial Phase" of the Boston Scientific Precision Spectra SCS pain
management program. You are about to test a pain treatment therapy that could result in a
dramatic change in your life and your lifestyle. The trial you have agreed to participate in is
intended to give you and your physician a chance to evaluate spinal cord stimulation (SCS)
as an appropriate and effective long-term therapy option for your chronic pain.
At the end of the trial period (approximately one week), you and your physician will
meet to discuss your experience with spinal cord stimulation. The doctor will also want to
explore your feelings about a permanent SCS implant so that, together, you can determine
whether long-term treatment with an applicable Boston Scientific spinal cord stimulation
system is an appropriate option for you. To prepare yourself for this important decision,
you may want to spend at least some of the trial period carefully evaluating spinal cord
stimulation.
