Every spinal cord stimulator inquiry gets a personal review — and an honest answer either way, free and without obligation.
Claims target the device manufacturers — not your doctor. Some matters may be referred to other lawyers. No settlement has been reached, and most cases are in their earliest stages; every case must be proven on its own facts. Attorney Advertising.
Medtronic Intellis patients reporting shocks, lead migration, battery failures, or revision surgery may qualify for the Medtronic spinal cord stimulator litigation. Intellis is Medtronic’s most-reported stimulator — over 41,000 FDA adverse event reports — with charging failures, high impedance, and lead problems leading the categories. Medtronic’s platform PMA shows 607 post-approval modifications with a single new clinical-trial review.
See if you qualify
A few quick questions about your spinal cord stimulator, the problems you experienced, and any revision or removal surgery. This is the initial intake screening, not a full case review. Most people finish in about two minutes.
