Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This study is a clinical audit of patients undergoing implantation of commercially-available and TGA-approved high frequency stimulators (Nevro high frequency stimulator and electrode leads, TGA certificate DV-2011-MC-00182-3) in the clinical management of pain. Pain ratings, Oswestry Disability ratings, patient satisfaction and morphine equivalent consumption will be assessed before the implant and one year aferwards.

Secondary outcome [3] 325508 0
Patients will self-report consumption of opioid drugs at each clinical review. A morphine equivalent consumption score before and one year after the stimulator is implanted will be calculated using the OPIOID CONVERSION to oral MORPHINE EQUIVALENT DAILY DOSE Toolkit http://www.hnehealth.nsw.gov.au/Pain/Documents/FPM_opioid_conversion_20141.pdf
Timepoint [3] 325508 0
