3x3 Clinical Evidence

  

Combination Therapy and Multiple Mechanisms

Boston Scientific advanced the science of spinal cord stimulation by introducing systems capable of engaging multiple mechanisms of action individually or simultaneously with Combination Therapy.
  

LEVEL I COMBO RCT

LEVEL I COMBO RCT Infographic.
WaveWriter delivers significant and sustained pain relief in the real world out to 2 years (n=84, ongoing)

WAVEWRITER REAL-WORLD STUDY

WaveWriter Real-World Study Infographic.
65% reported Pain Score ≤2
A device capable of delivering Combination Therapy achieves a high level of clinical and functional success out to 2 years 
  

Sub-Perception Neural Dosing

Extensive neural dosing research led to the development of our optimized Contour™ Therapy which delivers broad paresthesia-free coverage across multiple neural targets — all while using a fraction of the energy of conventional high frequency stimulation.
  

LEVEL 1 PROCO RCT

LEVEL I PROCO RCT Infographic.
With proper neural dosing, 1 kHz provides excellent pain relief using less energy than 10kHz (n=20)

HALO REAL-WORLD STUDY

The Contour™ Algorithm at 200 Hz delivers SIMPLE, EFFICIENT, and EFFECTIVE sub-perception pain relief (n=30)

Foundational Technology and Capabilities

Boston Scientific systems are equipped with foundational targeting technologies like the Illumina 3D Algorithm and Multiple Independent Current Control (MICC) which deliver excellent long-term pain relief, and the option to utilize multiple waveforms to increase patients’ chances of success with SCS. 
  

LUMINA REAL-WORLD STUDY

Using the Illumina 3D™ Algorithm, paresthesia-based SCS provides excellent pain relief.

LEVEL 1 WHISPER RCT

LEVEL I WHISPER RCT Infographic.
Multiple Options Provide Superior Outcomes (n=140)
74% increase in responder rate when challenging long-term patients can choose their most effective option (paresthesia OR paresthesia-free)
