I could understand why they might want to do a study on you on what does and doesn't work but as many people who have had the SCS already put in, they are bound to have a percentage rate of how many don't do the job. I would say the don't do's are higher.

I know I went through the VNS trial and it's now out so I can't say anything about anyone who wants to go down the SCS path but I think the desperation we have to get out of pain or depression or whatever we are dealing with makes us accept what the Drs. want to do to us more readily.

Please read up on the SCS. It seems to cause spread more often then notl

I have heard J Hopkins is one of the best. When it comes to study hospitals, I have long learned I won't be their guiena pig. I went through that at the U. of CO.

Good Luck,
