Efficacy of Alternating Conventional Stimulation and High Frequency Stimulation in Improving Spinal Cord Stimulation Outcomes: A Pilot Study

ConclusionsThis study generated preliminary evidence showing improved NRS current pain scores in shuffle stimulation compared to conventional stimulation. More patients preferred shuffle stimulation compared to conventional stimulation. Optimizing stimulation when patients are recumbent may increase patient satisfaction and pain control. The potential advantages of shuffle stimulation may warrant further investigation.
