Tested spinal cord stimulation for long-term severe back pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re 18 or older
- Your chronic pain is very severe (score above 5 out of 10) for at least 6 months
- Your pain is from failed back surgery (FBSS), and your doctor says this therapy may be suitable for you
- You can understand the study and sign written consent
- You can attend study visits and follow the trial plan
- You should not have conditions that would make it unsafe or interfere with pain and follow-up results

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 study compares two ways of delivering spinal cord stimulation to see which better reduces pain in people with persistent spinal pain syndrome type 2. You would be assigned to one of the stimulation “burst” patterns and followed for changes in your pain experience.
This trial tests how much of the pain relief from spinal cord stimulation is due to the placebo effect. It is for people with ongoing leg pain after back surgery who have already tried other treatments without success.
This study tests whether lowering pain medication can improve how well spinal cord stimulation works. It is for people who already take certain pain medicines and are scheduled to try a spinal cord stimulator.
This trial tests whether stem cells injected near your spinal cord can improve pain relief from your existing spinal cord stimulator (BurstDR device). You're only eligible if your current stimulator is already helping with at least 50% pain reduction.
This trial tests how changing your pain medications while using a spinal cord stimulator affects your nervous system. It may help people with chronic lower back pain find the best way to manage their pain and reduce reliance on strong drugs.
