Three clinical studies reinforce the sustained impact and efficacy of spinal cord stimulation for (SCS) treating chronic pain

MARLBOROUGH, Mass., Jan. 20, 2026 - Boston Scientific Corporation (NYSE: BSX) today announced the company's clinical data that will be featured at the North American Neuromodulation Society (NANS) annual meeting, to be held in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Jan. 22-25, 2026. A total of 17 abstracts, including seven oral presentations, from the chronic pain and deep brain stimulation portfolios have been accepted.

Key findings to be presented include:

• Three-year positive outcomes from a multicenter global real-world study assessing patients using Fast-Acting Sub-perception Therapy (FAST™), designed to provide paresthesia-free pain relief in minutes.
• Three-year results from the global, prospective RELIEF registry highlight long-term outcomes of spinal cord stimulation (SCS) therapy across multiple indications in more than 500 patients.
• Two-year results from the SOLIS (SCS as an Option for Chronic Low Back and/​or Leg Pain Instead of Surgery) randomized controlled trial for non-surgical back pain outcomes for patients using FAST Therapy.

"The data presented at this year's NANS add to the growing body of evidence for our spinal cord stimulation therapies and underscore our category leadership in the pain space," said Jim Cassidy, president, Neuromodulation, Boston Scientific. "By continuing to invest in long-term science and innovation, we're helping physicians offer more personalized, proven treatment options for their patients."

At the meeting, Boston Scientific is also showcasing the Intracept™ EDGE J Stylet, an instrument of the Intracept™ Intraosseous Nerve Ablation System. This latest advancement is designed to optimize access to the basivertebral nerve and streamline the treatment experience. The Intracept procedure is the first U.S. FDA-cleared device-based therapy for vertebrogenic low back pain and has demonstrated improved function and long-term pain relief. Meeting attendees can explore the latest innovation at booth #131, where a hands-on simulator experience will be available.
