About This Chronic Pain Study in Chicago

This is a prospective, longitudinal, single-center, non-randomized, open-label, post-market clinical feasibility study to assess the efficacy of neuromodulation therapies (SCS and DRG) for chronic pain patients with diabetes and investigate whether physical and physiological data collected from diabetic and pre-diabetic chronic pain patients is predictive of subjective patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and of adjustments in patient care. These assessments will be made prior to, during, and after the trial of the SCS or DRG system. The study will be carried out in the United States at a single site.

Sponsor: Abbott Medical Devices
