SPINAL CORD STIMULATOR REVIEWS TRIAL

This patient-centric innovation is possible because of Abbott's proprietary waveform and advanced battery technology that is integrated into Proclaim XR. Abbott's Proclaim XR system allows physicians to identify the lowest effective dose of BurstDR stimulation customized to each patient, optimizing system longevity while maintaining effective pain relief, and eliminating the need for recharging (for up to 10 years at low-dose settings *). This means patients won't need surgery to benefit from future advances in this technology.'Īlternative stimulation systems may use higher frequencies or multiple waveforms that use more energy, requiring them to be recharged daily – taking time from a person's day. 'Proclaim XR is a major advancement in spinal cord stimulation, and is an evidence-based therapy that is mobile app-based and features upgradeable software. 'For the 50 million people living with chronic pain in the United States this is a new and exciting treatment that is supported with evidence validated by the BOLD study, an established protocol for titrated intermittent dosing to give patients individualized pain relief while using therapy for 6 hours or less per day,' said Timothy Deer, M.D., DABPM, president and chief executive officer of The Spine and Nerve Center of the Virginias in Charleston, W.Va.

SPINAL CORD STIMULATOR REVIEWS TRIAL

Data from this trial was presented at multiple society meetings including the North American Neuromodulation Society (NANS) and the International Neuromodulation Society (INS) earlier this year. Even at the highest settings, the systems were still in use only 25% of the time. The system was developed based on positive results from Abbott's BurstDR micr Odosing stimu Lation in De-novo patients (BOLD) study, which showed 100% of 24 enrolled patients on a low-energy BurstDR dosing program experienced pain relief with less than six hours of battery use per day, while approximately 50% of those patients achieved pain relief with the lowest effective dose (less than two hours of battery use per day).

Proclaim XR also uses familiar Apple mobile digital devices and Bluetooth ® wireless technology to help discreetly manage pain and fit seamlessly into a patient's lifestyle. It delivers BurstDR stimulation intermittently, at low energy levels, while allowing people to experience the same level of superior pain relief. Abbott's low-energy stimulation is based on finding the lowest effective dose as determined by the treating clinician for select patients.
