Spinal cord stimulation for chronic pelvic pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a device called a spinal cord stimulator — a small implant that sends mild electrical pulses to nerves in your spine — to see if it can reduce long-term pelvic pain that hasn't gotten better with other treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older.
- You've had pelvic pain for more than 6 months.
- Other treatments (like medicine or therapy) haven't helped enough.
- No serious untreated health problems (like uncontrolled diabetes or heart disease).
- Your pelvic pain is not caused by something fixable with surgery or medication.
- No active legal or disability claims related to your pain.

This study tests whether a pacemaker-like device placed near the tailbone can reduce long-term pelvic pain in women who haven't gotten relief from other treatments.
This trial tests a new type of spinal cord stimulator that uses closed-loop technology to treat chronic pelvic pain caused by a known injury. It may be an option if your pain is severe and hasn't responded to other treatments.
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 trial tests whether spinal cord stimulation (a device that sends mild electrical pulses to nerves in your spine) can reduce chronic abdominal pain that hasn't improved with standard care. It might be an option if you've tried medications or nerve blocks without success.
This study looks at a method (ECAPS) to improve how spinal cord stimulation works. It may help people who are already scheduled to have a spinal cord stimulator trial started.
This study is looking at how people with chronic low back pain respond to spinal cord stimulation (a device that sends gentle electrical pulses to the spine to reduce pain). If you already have a spinal cord stimulator, you may help researchers understand how well it works and how it affects your brain.
