Telefitting spinal cord stimulation for chronic pain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This study checks a “remote fitting” process to set up spinal cord stimulation for people with high levels of pain. You may be a fit if you are planning a stimulation trial and have severe pain right now.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 22 years old or older
- You are scheduled to undergo spinal cord stimulation (a trial before any permanent implant)
- Your pain score is high right now (at least 6 out of 10)
- You can read and speak English and use a smartphone for the study
- You can legally consent to take part in the study
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether stimulating the nerves in your spine (via an epidural device) can improve rehab-related function after a spinal cord injury. It focuses on people with stable, motor-complete paraplegia and long-term injuries, and it compares how you respond to the stimulation during rehabilitation.
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 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.
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 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.
