Clinically Proven First-Line Chronic Back Pain Treatment

“If this is not part of your practice, I think you’re really giving your patients a disservice because, many times, this (SPRINT) comes before large, more permanent devices.”

“The simplicity of the procedure lends itself towards moving it much earlier in the care continuum. And, the study results indicate there may be a very good role for SPRINT prior to ablation of the medial branch nerves for people with not just facetogenic pain but also other nonspecific low back pain.”

“I think that (SPRINT) peripheral nerve simulation, particularly for the treatment of low back pain and peripheral nerve stimulation of the medial branch is actually one of those exciting transformative ideas that is really going to move the treatment of our patients ahead by a large leap.”

“I’m no longer going towards radiofrequency ablation as that next line treatment after therapy.  Wait to ablate is actually what I’ve been doing for a couple years now. I’m going straight to peripheral nerve stimulation. SPRINT should certainly be considered a first line treatment for lumbar facet mediated low back pain.”

“When patients are asked what they prefer, they choose temporary peripheral nerve stimulation (SPRINT) more frequently than they would elect for radiofrequency ablation and way more frequently than they would a permanent implant.”
