* Average pain intensity over the past 30 days reported as 6 or greater on a 0-10 numeric rating scale (NRS)
* Multidisciplinary pain consensus review that establishes
* Pain is refractory to medical management
* Pain that is refractory to or unlikely to be altered by less invasive treatment and
* Pain distribution either does not permit attempts at relief by a targeted nerve block (e.g., post-stroke pain) or such blocks have provided \<25% relief.
