Help people with ongoing back pain return to work
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how to help people with long-lasting spinal pain (PSPS-Type II) get back to work. It may help by testing a plan for managing persistent pain so work becomes more doable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have persistent spinal pain syndrome type II (PSPS-T2)
- Your spinal pain has lasted at least 6 months and feels at least 4 out of 10
- Your pain has not improved enough with usual treatments (like conservative care)
- You speak Dutch (or can complete study steps in Dutch)
- You agree in writing to follow the study visits and instructions
- You should not have another widespread whole-body pain condition like fibromyalgia or rheumatoid arthritis
- You cannot be pregnant

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 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 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.
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 study looks at whether combining exercise with a type of nerve stimulation (called neuromodulation) can help people with long-term spinal pain that has nerve involvement. It may be an option if you have had pain for at least 6 months and it is severe.
