Enhanced Energy Efficiency and Spinal Cord Stimulation Outcomes using Fast-Acting Sub-Perception Therapy (FAST) for Chronic Pain



Synopsis

Cycling of Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS)-based neurostimulation may prevent the development of neural tolerance and enable greater control of the dose of electrical energy delivered to neural tissues.1, 2 Fast-Acting Sub-Perception Therapy (FAST) is a novel SCS-based approach that can provide pain relief within minutes of initial activation without need for paresthesia in order to achieve clinically-meaningful analgesia.3 In this clinical evaluation, SCS-implanted patients using FAST underwent various cycling settings and reported their overall pain scores, sleep quality, and preference. With use of FAST-based cycling (50% or 25% duty cycle), lower energy consumption and equivalent pain relief was noted.
