Medtronic recently initiated the Subqstim I post-market study in Europe, Israel, Australia and Canada to evaluate the effectiveness of PNS plus optimal medical management (OMM) for low back pain, compared to OMM alone in patients with
failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS).
This is the first large-scale study comparing the effectiveness of Medtronic's neurostimulation therapy with Specify 5-6-5 multicolumn surgical leads plus optimal medical management (OMM) to the administration of OMM alone in patients with
failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS) and predominant low back pain.
