Methods: A retrospective survey review of patient-reported pain and activity outcomes among 1,479 veterans in the Veterans Affairs Health Care System who used the RS-4i® Plus Sequential Electrical Stimulator (device) with Intersperse for one month, and 209 veterans who used the device for six months. We compared follow-up surveys to baseline.

Results: Our results showed that the SES can significantly reduce pain and improve function and activity of patients across all ages and body regions in short- and long-term follow up.

Conclusion: The Sequential Electrical Stimulation with Intersperse technology is an effective treatment option for spine and joint pain across all ages. This provides insight into an effective non-invasive and non-pharmacological alternative to treating pain.
