Epidural Stimulation Future Trials and Commercial Planning

Is it exactly the same, no. But will what comes out of the CDRF trial be the same as they are testing with today - no.

The difference is these clinics are offering estim today, how long will you have to wait until something comes out of these trials? Too ******* long.

May good fortune be with you then

If you want a Medtronic pain stimulator implanted, you can be tested and implanted by Dr. Justin Brown if he thinks you're a good candidate for it.

Will he implement it the same way as the ones in the trials?

Thanks, email sent, not going to hold my breath, but if its an option I think I'd rather try this than something in Thailand.

There are substantial difference between simply implanting a Medtronic stimulator. The stuff Edgerton and Co are doing involves more electrodes, multiple frequencies and very specific waveforms. I think this shortfall of China/Thailand is demonstrated in the one guy who posted to Facebook that the Medtronic implant allowed him to move his leg in a "controlled spasm" way. With the stimulator on he would try to flex his abs while taking a breath or something and then his knee would come up. That is *not* what subjects in the Edgerton studies describe at all.
