Abstract: A method for anchoring a sensory nerve stimulator (SNS) lead to the anatomy of a patient, the method comprising: providing an anchor assembly comprising: a body having a distal end, a proximal end, a longitudinal axis extending between the distal end and the proximal end, a bore extending through the body substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the body, a flexible finger extending distally within the body, the flexible finger being formed by a recess formed on one side of the body and a U-shaped slot formed on the opposing side of the body, wherein the distal end of the finger is spaced from an opposing portion of the body; and a suture having a first end and a second end, the suture extending through the bore of the body, forming a loop adjacent to the body, back through the bore of the body, passing through the recess and extending out of the U-shaped slot; forming an opening through the dermis and the superficial fascia; positioning the body of the anchor anterior to the thorocolumbar fasc
