Spinal cord stimulation for stubborn nerve pain in limbs
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests if spinal cord stimulation (a device that sends mild electrical pulses to your spinal cord) can help relieve long-lasting nerve pain in your arm or leg that hasn't gotten better with other treatments. It's for people who have had this pain for at least 6 months and are willing to try a new approach.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have ongoing nerve pain in your arm or leg (like hand or foot), especially after an injury or surgery.
- You have tried other treatments for at least 6 months and they haven't worked well enough.
- You are 18 years old or older.
- Your average pain in the last week is at least 5 out of 10.

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 tests a type of spinal cord stimulation (DTM SCS) for people with chronic leg or foot pain caused by nerve damage (PSPS-T2). It aims to see if this treatment can safely reduce pain and improve daily life.
This trial studies a targeted spinal cord stimulation therapy to reduce severe, long-lasting pain. It may help people whose pain is due to failed back surgery and who can safely use the implanted system.
This trial tests a new type of spinal cord stimulation for people with long-term nerve pain that hasn't improved with other treatments. The goal is to see if this special stimulation pattern can reduce pain better than standard care.
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 tests whether spinal cord stimulation (a device that sends mild electrical pulses to your spine) can help people with severe nerve pain in their neck, back, or limbs who haven't found relief from other treatments. You must already be scheduled to get a specific type of spinal cord stimulator for this study.
