Testing improvements to spinal cord stimulation with ECAPS
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at a method (ECAPS) to improve how spinal cord stimulation works. It may help people who are already scheduled to have a spinal cord stimulator trial started.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are medically stable, as your study doctor judges
- You are scheduled to have a spinal cord stimulation trial started soon (externalization)
- You can read and speak English
- You should not be planning only a permanent implant with no trial run
- You do not have a pacemaker or another implant that sends/receives electrical signals in the nervous system
- You are not pregnant

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a closed-loop spinal cord stimulator that adjusts stimulation based on nerve signals. It may help people with chronic pain who are already scheduled to try this type of device.
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 a new type of spinal cord stimulator (a device that sends gentle electrical pulses to your spine to block pain signals) for people with chronic pain in their back, chest, or arms or legs. The goal is to see how well it works in real-life settings.
This study tests a new way to deliver spinal cord stimulation for chronic pain using a system that adjusts automatically based on what your body is doing. You may be able to join if you’re using the Evoke system as part of the approved treatment plan.
This trial tests if a spinal cord stimulator with a new way of adjusting electrical settings (called independent current control) can better manage chronic pain in the back, trunk, or limbs. The goal is to find more effective sequences to reduce pain and improve daily life.
This study looks at how spinal cord stimulation affects long-term recovery and daily functioning in people with stable spinal cord injury. You may be eligible if you already have an implanted, FDA-approved spinal cord stimulator and meet specific safety and timing rules.
