Spinal cord stimulator study for nerve pain and brain effects
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This Phase 2 study looks at how spinal cord (or nerve-root) stimulation affects pain signals in the brain and body. You may qualify if you already have a stimulator set to a comfort mode that avoids “tingling” sensations.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old
- You can give consent and complete pain and function questionnaires during the study
- You already have a spinal cord or nerve-root stimulator placed and working
- Your stimulator is used for back/leg nerve pain or neck/arm nerve pain
- Your stimulator can be set to a mode with no “tingling” feeling (paresthesia-free setting)

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 looks at how spinal cord stimulation (a device that sends mild signals to the spinal cord) affects nerve pain after lumbar surgery. It also aims to help predict who is most likely to improve and why, comparing patients with and without certain sensory symptoms.
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 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 study looks at how spinal cord stimulation affects chronic pain in adults who already have the device implanted. It may help researchers understand who benefits most and how stable pain and treatments need to be to measure results.
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.
