Screening Trial info for SCS

[Guest guest]

To Anyone Interested in the SCS: I recieved this in my e-mail today. There have been a few newbies asking all kinds of questions about the SCS, so I thought that I would pass this on. I really hope that this helps someone make up their mind about it. I personally do not have one and am not interested in it, but for those of you who are, there is some good information here. I hope that it was okay that I posted this.

One of the advantages of implantable pain therapies is that they enable

people to try the therapy ahead of time to see if it works for them.

The screening test process, sometimes called a trial, is available for

both neurostimulation and intrathecal drug delivery therapies.

To better help people take the next step toward pain relief, Tame the

Pain has developed a website dedicated to educating people who are considering

undergoing a screening test for implantable pain therapies so they make

the most of their experience.

Our website, www.MedtronicScreeningTest.com,

features valuable information about the screening test process for both

intrathecal drug delivery and neurostimulation. Before reviewing the

information on the site, please take a moment to answer the two survey

questions on the web site. Answering these questions will help

us better serve your information needs in the future. Please be assured

that we respect your privacy and will protect it in accordance with the

Medtronic privacy policy. This policy is available at www.medtronic.com.

Thank you for the information. Click here to answer the survey questions

and view the screening test website.

Sincerely,

Wogel
