Medtronic has degenerative disc disease (DDD), herniated disc (HD), and radicular pain syndrome as approved indications for chronic back pain patients who are not a candidate for surgery. Given this indication varies slightly from other manufacturers, each clinical trial population studied differs. For a full literature review of the 5 RCTs of SCS for the treatment of chronic back pain in patients with no history of surgery please contact our reimbursement team directly at
