The conventional implantation of the spinal cord stimulator calls for dual percutaneous leads placed in parallel at T8-T9 vertebral levels. A common problem after surgery is the migration of leads from the initial implanted site, the consequence of which is inadequate pain relief. Anecdotal reports suggest that the paddle electrode can eliminate some of the problems associated with lead migration by providing a constant distance between the parallel electrodes. Furthermore, it has been reported to provide superior pain relief and paresthesia coverage.
