ID: 197327 Clinical Outcomes Using A New Fast-Acting Sub-Perception Therapy For Chronic Pain: A European Observational Study

Traditional Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) modalities that achieve sub-perception analgesia (e.g., ∼ 1-10 kHz, BurstDR) require patients to often wait hours or even days until pain relief is fully realized. A recent study however has demonstrated that quicker analgesic onset is possible using a new sub-threshold-based SCS modality called Fast-Acting Sub-Perception Therapy (FAST).1 While achieving rapid onset of pain relief offers a substantial advantage for patients and providers alike, the magnitude and quality of pain relief in patients using FAST in the real-world clinical setting is also an important consideration. As such, we sought to assess outcomes in patients using FAST-SCS for chronic pain in a European-based, multicenter, observational study.
