Use of multicontact electrodes and programmable implanted pulse generators has increased the efficacy of spinal cord stimulation for pain. Some investigators find dual column electrodes advantageous for difficult-to-treat axial low back pain, but we have reported significantly improved measures with a single percutaneous midline electrode vs. dual percutaneous electrodes and even better results with an insulated, 1 x 4, midline electrode. In this study, 10 patients provided computerized, quantitative parameter measures for a temporary percutaneous 1 x 4 electrode and for a permanent insulated 2 x 8 electrode. Compared with the 2 x 8, the 1 x 4 resulted in marginally better patient-rated (109%, p = 0.06) and computer-calculated pain/paresthesia overlap (107%, p = 0.17); higher scaled amplitude to cover the low back (106%, NS); and significantly lower voltage (78%, p = 0.0004), increased extraneous coverage (141%, p = 0.0000), and improved symmetry (25%, p = 0.001). Thus, we observed no significant technical advantage for the insulated 2 x 8 in treating axial low back pain.
