Spinal Stimulation to Improve Walking in Chronic Back and Leg Pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This pilot study tests whether a special spinal cord stimulator—a small device that sends gentle electrical signals to your spinal cord—can help you walk better if you have ongoing nerve pain in your lower back and leg after spine surgery. The goal is to reduce pain and improve your ability to move around.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old
- You have chronic nerve pain in your lower back and leg (confirmed by a pain questionnaire) from failed spine surgery, with moderate to severe pain (score above 50 on a 0–100 scale)
- Your doctor team has already agreed that spinal cord stimulation is the right next step for you
- You are enrolled in a French Social Security system
- You are able to walk and participate in walking tests during the study
- You can complete written questionnaires and surveys

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 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 study tests whether non-invasive electrical stimulation of the spinal cord, combined with physical therapy, can improve your ability to stand and walk after a spinal cord injury. It explores how your brain and spinal cord can adapt and rebuild connections to help you move better.
This trial tests if a smart spinal cord stimulation device can improve leg movement in people with incomplete spinal cord injury. The device adjusts stimulation in real time to help you walk better.
This trial tests whether placing a small device on the spinal cord can help people with spinal cord injuries regain the ability to walk. It is designed for those who have had a traumatic injury and still have some movement in their upper body.
