Brief summary (from the registry)

The BENEFIT-03 Clinical Study is a first in human, prospective, multi-center, single-arm, interventional feasibility study to be conducted in Australia. The purpose of the BENEFIT-03 study is to collect initial safety and effectiveness data on the BIOTRONIK Prosper SCS (Spinal Cord Stimulation) System with HomeStream Remote Management. Enrolled participants will complete a SCS trial period per the standard of care utilizing the BIOTRONIK Resilience percutaneous SCS trial leads and the BIOTRONIK Prospera External Pulse Generator (EPG). Following a successful trial period, participants will be implanted with a permanent BIOTRONIK Prospera Implantable Pulse Generator (IPG). Implanted participants will be followed for 24 months post-implant with in-office visits and remote management visits.
