Study Summary
The purpose of this study is to better understand how the Spinal Cord Stimulator works in relieving chronic pain. The investigators are asking subject to take part in this study because who are chronic pain patients who already have a Spinal Cord Stimulator (SCS) in place. The investigators hypothesize that chronic pain patients will have higher heat pain threshold and heat pain tolerance over the painful areas with the SCS on. QST (Quantitative Sensory Testing, a heat/cold simulation test) might be an objective helpful tool for prudent patient selection for an expensive and invasive procedure for future SCS placement.
