Area of Science:

  • Neuromodulation
  • Pain Management
  • Spinal Cord Stimulation

Background:

  • Therapy habituation is a significant challenge in achieving long-term success with spinal cord stimulation (SCS).
  • Fast-acting subperception therapy (FAST) utilizes a low-frequency, subperception waveform to induce rapid pain relief through surround inhibition.
  • FAST-Autodose is an automated SCS programming designed to optimize pain management by minimizing habituation and maintaining therapeutic efficacy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of FAST-Autodose in managing chronic low back and/or lower limb pain.
  • To assess preliminary long-term outcomes of patients using FAST-Autodose for spinal cord stimulation.

Main Methods:

  • A multicenter, observational study involving a retrospective review of patients who received SCS with FAST-Autodose.
  • The study included 73 patients managing chronic low back and/or lower limb pain in the USA.
  • Pain intensity was assessed using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) up to the last follow-up.

Main Results:

  • After an average of 11.9 months of use, FAST-Autodose reduced overall pain scores by 5.1 points (NRS) to a mean of 2.1 (p < 0.0001).
  • 69% of patients achieved minimal pain (NRS ≤ 2/10) at the final follow-up.
  • Patients implanted for over 3.5 years showed a mean pain reduction of 6.1 points (NRS) to 1.6 (p < 0.0001).

Conclusions:

  • FAST-Autodose represents a novel automated subperception SCS therapy.
  • The program demonstrated significant and sustained pain relief for chronic low back and/or leg pain up to 3.6 years post-implantation.
  • Preliminary findings support further investigation in larger prospective studies to confirm long-term efficacy.
