OBJECTIVE: It is the purpose of this study to document our experience with the use of a 10-kHz high-frequency @entity602 ( @entity602 ) device for the relief of @entity9 of the upper and lower limbs. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective chart review was performed of all @entity1 treated with the 10-kHz high-frequency @entity602 system for @entity9 (upper or lower limb) refractory to conventional treatment. All @entity1 underwent a trial with one or two eight-contact percutaneous leads using 50-Hz traditional stimulation. If >= 80% paresthesia coverage of the @entity158 area with traditional @entity602 was obtained, high-frequency 10-kHz @entity602 was used. @entity1 who had a significant reduction in @entity158 score (>= 50%) at the end of the trial received a permanent implant and were then followed for up to six months. Outcome measures included a numeric rating scale for @entity158 , the Brief Pain Inventory, health-related quality of life (EQ-5D), the Pain Catastrophizing Scale, and @entity1 satisfaction. RESULTS: Fifteen @entity1 completed a trial of high-frequency 10-kHz @entity602 . Eleven @entity1 proceeded to permanent implantation. Ten of the 11 @entity1 who proceeded to full implantation had significant reductions in all of the collected outcome variables at one, three, and six months. CONCLUSIONS: In this small cohort of @entity1 , high-frequency 10-kHz @entity602 reduced @entity158 and improved quality of life. However, before we can conclude that high-frequency 10-kHz @entity602 for @entity9 of the upper and lower extremities is efficacious, a large-scale multicenter observational study should be performed to corroborate our small retrospective study.
