Read the published RCTDTM™ SCS therapy
Differential Target Multiplexed™ (DTM) spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is a proprietary therapy inspired by science and rooted in pre-clinical research, and adapted to provide superior clinical outcomes.
The DTM™ SCS 12-month RCT proved sustained superiority compared to conventional stimulation.
* Descriptive comparison, including studies with similar design (RCT; randomization >100 subjects; comparing 2 SCS therapies; with at least 12-months follow up) and patient populations (inclusion/exclusion criteria; baseline demographics) with back pain responder rates reported. This is not based on a statistical analysis of outcomes between studies.
Proven only on the Intellis™ platform
