If you were implanted with a Boston Scientific spinal cord stimulator and later experienced device failure, painful shocks, or a follow-up surgery, you may qualify for compensation.
Boston Scientific's spinal cord stimulators — including its WaveWriter line — are implanted devices marketed to manage chronic pain by delivering electrical pulses along the spine. Lawsuits allege the devices can unexpectedly stop delivering stimulation, reset without warning during normal use, deliver painful electric shocks, migrate from their intended position, or otherwise malfunction in ways that leave patients back in pain and often facing a revision or removal surgery.
In June 2026, a federal panel consolidated Boston Scientific spinal cord stimulator lawsuits from across the country into a single multidistrict litigation in the Central District of California, centralizing pretrial proceedings for cases that had been filed in nine different federal districts.
