In situations where the spinal cord stimulator has been working well but is in need of replacement for battery change, malfunction or end of stimulator life, a new trial is not needed to replace the stimulator. Performance and documentation of an effective trial is a prerequisite for permanent nerve stimulation.

Therapy consists of a short trial with a percutaneous implantation of neurostimulator electrode(s) in the epidural space for assessing a patient’s suitability for ongoing treatment with a permanent surgically implanted nerve stimulator. SCS is best suited for neuropathic pain but may have some limited value in other types of nociceptive severe, intractable pain. The implantation of spinal cord stimulators (SCS) may be covered as therapies for the relief of chronic intractable pain.
