Plain-language summary

Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is an effective treatment for patients with chronic pelvic pain. The investigators will evaluate how safe and effective closed-loop spinal cord stimulation is in treating these patients; closed-loop spinal cord stimulation is a more novel method in delivering spinal cord stimulation that controls energy output of the device based on real-time feedback on how the device is stimulating the spinal cord.
