A Randomized, Double-Blinded, Placebo-Controlled, Multicenter Pilot Study of the SPRINT Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS) System for the Treatment of Post-Amputation Pain

The purpose of this study is to determine if electrical stimulation (small levels of
electricity) can safely and effectively reduce post-amputation pain. This study involves a
device called the SPRINT System. The SPRINT System delivers mild electrical stimulation to
nerves in the residual limb. The SPRINT System includes a small wire (called a "lead") that
is placed through the skin in the upper leg. It also includes a device worn on the body that
delivers stimulation (called the SPRINT Stimulator).

Key Inclusion Criteria:

- At least 18 years old

- Traumatic lower extremity amputation(s)

- Healed amputation and healthy residual limb based upon the investigator's evaluation

Key Exclusion Criteria:

- Change of prescribed medications affecting pain within the past 4 weeks

- Compromised immune system based on medical history

- Implanted electronic device

- Bleeding disorder

- History of valvular heart disease

- Confounding central nervous system injuries and disorders

- History of recurrent skin infections
