High-frequency spinal cord stimulation for diabetic nerve pain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests if a special type of spinal cord stimulation (high-frequency SCS) can better relieve painful nerve damage caused by diabetes. If you have long-term burning, stabbing, or electric-shock-like pain in both legs, this treatment may help reduce that pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have diabetes and are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have had pain in both lower legs for more than 6 months.
- The pain feels like stabbing, electric shocks, or burning.
- You have numbness or unusual sensations in the legs, and your doctor has confirmed nerve changes with special tests.
- You have not had low back surgery or a spinal injury in the past 6 months.
- You do not have severe heart or blood vessel disease, a bleeding disorder, cancer, or an active infection.

This study tests whether a spinal cord stimulator (a device that uses mild electrical pulses to block pain signals) can help people with diabetic nerve pain that hasn't responded to other treatments. If you have long-term nerve pain from diabetes and other pain meds haven't worked, this trial might be an option for you.
This study tests if a spinal cord stimulator (a device that sends mild electrical pulses to the spine) can relieve severe leg pain caused by diabetic nerve damage and poor blood flow. It may help people who have not found enough relief from other treatments.
This trial studies whether a spinal cord stimulator can reduce pain from diabetic nerve damage in the legs. It focuses on people with long-lasting type 2 diabetes and significant, treatment-resistant pain.
This trial tests a treatment called spinal cord stimulation for people with diabetic foot pain that hasn't improved with standard treatments. It uses mild electrical pulses to block pain signals and might help if you can't have or don't want surgery on your leg blood vessels.
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 is studying a device called the Medtronic Inceptiv™ Closed-Loop DTM Spinal Cord Stimulator to see if it can help reduce pain from diabetic peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage caused by diabetes) in the lower legs. It is for people whose pain has lasted at least 6 months and hasn't been helped by other treatments.
