following conditions: radicular pain, peripheral neuropathies.
Contraindications 
Patients contraindicated for the Spinal Modulation Trial Neurostimulator System are those who:
Have an active implantable medical device including but not limited to
cardiac pacemakers and cardiac defibrillators
Are unable to operate the system
Are poor surgical risks
Are pregnant
Are under the age of 18
Description
The Trial Neurostimulator (TNS) attaches to the Connector Cable and delivers energy to the trial leads. The
