Test whether new spinal cord stimulation settings improve chronic pain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You can sign consent and are at least 22 years old
- Your pain has lasted at least 6 months and scores above 60/100 most days
- You’ve tried at least 3 supervised treatments and at least 2 different types of pain medicines, and your meds stay stable
- You haven’t had back surgery in the past 6 months, and your opioid use is not too high
- You must be able to do study questionnaires in English and use an app and wrist device
- You can have spinal cord stimulation for both physical and mental health reasons, and agree to contraception if pregnancy is possible

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 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 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 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 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 (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.
