Spinal cord stimulation for chronic low back pain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a spinal cord stimulator implant to treat chronic low back pain that hasn't improved with standard treatments. The goal is to see if it can reduce pain and improve function in people with a spinal cord injury.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You have had chronic low back pain that hasn't been helped by usual treatments
- Your spinal cord injury is rated as AIS grade B or C, but you still have some feeling
- You are willing and able to follow the study plan, including all visits and tests
- You have no history of cancer in the brain or spinal cord, and no bone thinning (osteoporosis)

This study tests how spinal cord stimulation affects brain activity in people with spinal cord injuries. It aims to understand the physiological effects using EEG (a brainwave test).
This trial tests if placing electrodes near the injury site and in the lower back can help people with spinal cord injury recover movement or function. You must have had the injury for more than 2 years.
This trial tests a spinal cord stimulation device to help people with chronic spinal cord injury regain leg movement. It aims to improve muscle control and function.
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.
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 uses brain imaging to understand which people with long-lasting low back pain are more likely to benefit from spinal cord stimulation (SCS). If you’re being considered for an SCS trial, the scans may help researchers predict response and improve future care.
