Spinal cord stimulation for painful diabetic nerve pain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Pain clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a spinal cord stimulator can reduce pain from diabetic nerve damage in the legs. It focuses on people with long-lasting type 2 diabetes and significant, treatment-resistant pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have type 2 diabetes for more than 1 year
- You are 18 years or older
- Your diabetic nerve pain mainly affects your lower legs/feet and has not improved with usual treatments
- Your diabetes nerve condition is stage 3 or less
- Your ABI (ankle-brachial index) is below 0.9
- You likely do not have very high blood sugar over time (HbA1c 10% or lower), major uncontrolled mental/cognitive issues, or active infections

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a type of spinal cord stimulation called BurstDR to see if it can reduce pain from diabetic nerve damage. It may help people with diabetes who have ongoing leg pain that hasn't gotten better with standard pain medications.
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 trial studies whether changing the “stimulation pattern” of spinal cord stimulation can reduce long-lasting pain and improve daily function. You might be a good candidate if you have chronic trunk or leg pain and have already tried multiple pain treatments without enough relief.
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 tests whether a spinal cord stimulator (a device that uses mild electrical pulses to block pain signals) can help people with diabetic nerve pain that hasn't responded to other treatments. If you have long-term nerve pain from diabetes and other pain meds haven't worked, this trial might be an option for you.
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.
