We demonstrate that HR-SCS has greater selectivity in eliciting evoked EMG responses in an intraoperative setting. HR-SCS offers recruitment of muscle groups at lateral contacts concurrently with medial contacts. We provide data that HR-SCS may provide higher spatial resolution, which has the potential to allow for personalization of care and treatment of pain syndromes/symptoms which to date have not been effectively treated.
