Rate of Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) Primary · throughout 12 month study

The serious adverse event rate for subjects receiving the permanent DRG implantable pulse generator (IPG) was analyzed using Kaplan-Meier method on subjects who received the permanent Axium or Proclaim DRG IPG (N = 296). While 426 patients were enrolled, only 296 received the permanent implant. The primary population is 296.

Percent Change From Baseline to 12 Months Post-permanent Implant for Overall Pain Intensity Measured Using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Secondary · 12 months

The VAS is a common, self-administered measure in which subjects rate their pain intensity by marking a vertical line through a 100 mm horizontal line anchored by word descriptors on each end (no pain to worst imaginable pain). The distance between the beginning of the horizontal line and the vertical line is measured to produce a score between 0 and 100 mm (or 0 to 10 cm). A higher score indicates higher pain intensity and a 30% reduction in VAS score from baseline to follow-up is considered clinically relevant.

Change From Baseline to 12 Months Post-permanent Implant for Physical Function Measured Using the Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System-29 (PROMIS-29) Physical Function Scale Secondary · 12 months

The PROMIS-29 Profile is an instrument made up of seven individual short forms (physical function, anxiety, depression, fatigue, sleep disturbance, ability to participate in social roles and activities, pain interference) that are scored individually. The instrument also includes a single pain intensity item which is reported as its raw score (e.g., 0 to 10). Each item has five response options ranging in value from 1 to 5, except for the Pain Intensity item which has eleven response options ranging in value from 0 to 10. A raw score is created from each short form that makes up the Profile. R

Change From Baseline to 12 Months Post-permanent Implant for Quality of Life Measured Using the PROMIS Global Health Scale Secondary · 12 months

The PROMIS Global Health short form is a validated, 10-item instrument designed to assess multiple health domains. The questionnaire yields a total score and sub-scale scores for Global Physical and Mental Health. Each question has potential five response options ranging in value from one to five to give a total score ranging from 10 to 50. All questions must be answered to arrive at a total score as one or more missing responses will render scores unusable. Scores are converted into t-scores where the average for the general US population is 50 and the SD is 10. Higher scores indicate better
