Spinal cord stimulation to reduce stubborn back and leg pain
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether spinal cord stimulation (a treatment where a device sends mild signals to the spinal cord) can improve persistent nerve-type back and leg pain. It is mainly for adults who are already planning to try spinal cord stimulation but have not tried it before.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are already planning to get spinal cord stimulation (SCS) for pain

This trial studies a targeted spinal cord stimulation therapy to reduce severe, long-lasting pain. It may help people whose pain is due to failed back surgery and who can safely use the implanted system.
This trial tests a type of spinal cord stimulation (DTM SCS) for people with chronic leg or foot pain caused by nerve damage (PSPS-T2). It aims to see if this treatment can safely reduce pain and improve daily life.
This trial tests if a special type of spinal cord stimulation (high-frequency SCS) can better relieve painful nerve damage caused by diabetes. If you have long-term burning, stabbing, or electric-shock-like pain in both legs, this treatment may help reduce that pain.
This study tests if a spinal cord stimulator (a device that sends mild electrical pulses to the spine) can relieve severe leg pain caused by diabetic nerve damage and poor blood flow. It may help people who have not found enough relief from other treatments.
This study looks at how spinal cord stimulation (a device that sends mild signals to the spinal cord) affects nerve pain after lumbar surgery. It also aims to help predict who is most likely to improve and why, comparing patients with and without certain sensory symptoms.
This study tests a way to place and program a spinal cord stimulator to reduce long-term (chronic) back pain. It’s for people whose back pain has lasted at least 6 months and is severe enough to measure.
