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.
Who can take part
- 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.
- You are not taking blood thinners and have no bleeding problems, and you are not pregnant or immune-compromised.

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 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 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 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.
