Workplan for updates
I plan to use the manual of style and update the headers accordingly. I will do a literature search and fill in content where needed with appropriate references, links, and images. Finally, I will respond to peer review comments. I will update this workplan with my working outline. It appears that I may have to change the current headings on the page to fit the preferred format I found on the manual of style for surgeries/devices. The headings will likely be as follows.

Peer Review
Overall, looks good. A couple small notes:

Intro paragraph: Adverse effects and Complications Mechanism of action --Dkuechle (talk) 03:49, 14 August 2017 (UTC)
 * “SCS has provided therapeutic…” - I would expand and/or clarify this sentence, plus add citation
 * “However, SCS is…” - citation
 * “in the United States…” - move this sentence to Medical Uses section or remove
 * “In a 7-year…” - citation
 * “The most common…” - citation
 * “In neuropathic pain states…” - citation

Faculty Review
Well done. Good use of references, clear and concise. Jemataoma (talk) 23:11, 18 August 2017 (UTC)

Nevro's HFX is an SCS system proven to be the most effective of its kind. Trimming Arizona (talk) 04:54, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

Rechargeable IPG
I am adding this quote from Eellan Sivanesan, M.D. of John Hopkins Medicine in an attempt to seek responses related to successful uses of the implanted device. The rechargable IPG definition accurately describes devices received by my daughter by NEVRO and has inspired me to research all that I can about successes of these devices

Eallan Sivanesan is:

Director of Neuromodulation-Pain Medicaine Division

Assistant Professor of Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine

“Rechargeable IPG works similarly to the conventional device, with the difference that the battery can be recharged without another surgery. Because the energy source is rechargeable, these stimulators can put out more electricity. This may be a better choice for people with pain in the lower back or in one or both legs, as the electrical signal can reach further.” Trimming Arizona (talk) 05:26, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
