Testing how epidural spinal cord stimulation may help chronic pain
Part of Heart & circulation, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how a device that sends mild signals to the area around your spinal cord may work for long-lasting (chronic) pain. You may be asked to visit a research lab, have blood taken, and follow the study plan so researchers can understand the treatment’s effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 18 to 89
- Your pain has lasted more than 3 months
- You are willing to visit a research lab for study visits
- You are willing to have blood drawn
- You can read and sign written consent to join the study

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 is looking at how people with chronic low back pain respond to spinal cord stimulation (a device that sends gentle electrical pulses to the spine to reduce pain). If you already have a spinal cord stimulator, you may help researchers understand how well it works and how it affects your brain.
This study tests a way to place and program a spinal cord stimulator to reduce long-term (chronic) back pain. It’s for people whose back pain has lasted at least 6 months and is severe enough to measure.
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 whether a gentle electrical treatment placed on the skin near the spine can reduce chronic low back pain. If you qualify, you’ll try the stimulation and complete several assessments over a day, so the team can measure any pain and function changes.
