Abstract

This article reviews Nevro Corporation’s (CA, USA) Senza System high-frequency spinal cord stimulator (HF10 SCS). HF10 therapy has been shown to be noninferior to traditional low-frequency spinal cord stimulation (SCS), and in some studies, has been shown to have long-term effects that are superior compared with traditional low-frequency SCS in treating both back and leg pain. In addition, safety profiles for the HF10 SCS system were equivalent to traditional SCS. HF10 SCS is based on spinal anatomic mapping and does not require intraoperative paresthesia mapping for placement, thereby improving procedural experience for patients and reducing operating room time. HF10 SCS has altered the nature of SCS therapy in a manner that treats more individuals with chronic, refractory leg and back pain than in the past, and is widely used in the USA, Europe and Australia.
