Spinal cord stimulation study for adults with chronic pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 18 years old and have a spinal cord stimulator (SCS) implanted for chronic pain
- You can understand the study and agree to participate, and you can follow instructions during visits
- Your spinal cord stimulator has been working in a continuous, “tingle-free” mode for at least 6 months
- Your worst pain (where the SCS helps most) is 7 or less out of 10 when you enroll
- You are not using any other “neuromodulation” devices or treatments
- Your pain medicines have not changed in the past 30 days

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 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 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 trial studies how psychological assessment can help people with long-term pain who are getting Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS)—a treatment that uses mild electrical pulses to block pain signals. You may join if you've had chronic pain for at least 6 months, are eligible for SCS, and speak Italian.
