Testing two spinal stimulation patterns for long-term back pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re between 18 and 70 years old
- Your long-lasting back and/or leg pain has been present for at least 6 months
- Your current pain is at least 5 out of 10 on a pain scale
- Your neurologic exam shows no major weakness (marked motor deficit)
- You must be able and willing to attend follow-up visits and follow study instructions
- You must be cleared by a team (including a psychologist) as suitable for a spinal stimulation implant

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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.
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.
