The trial SCS lead is only attached to the skin with a few stitches and moves like crazy. This will cause the stimulation to change with position and hence you will feel like you have to "chase down" the correct stimulation. It's very normal for the trial and is not the norm for a permanent implant, especially a paddle lead.
So yes, the trial will be very positional and no, the permanent paddle won't be.
