Objective: To evaluate if spinal cord stimulation (SCS) performs better than placebo (no stimulation) in the long term to reduce persistent neuropathic leg pain refractory to medication and other conservative treatments in patients who have undergone lumbar spinal surgery. Study design: Multicenter, double blind, randomized, sham-controlled trial. After a positive SCS test trial, participants (18-70 years) will be implanted with a non-rechargeable SCS system providing active, subthreshold stimulation and followed for 12 months in a blinded cross-over design. The primary outcome measure is the difference in change in leg pain intensity scores using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) between a 3-month period with optimized subthreshold stimulation, and a 3-month period with no stimulation, as compared to baseline. Quality of life, physical functioning, sleep quality, return to work, and redu
