Brain oxygen measurement in chronic pain with spinal cord stimulation
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a new device to measure oxygen levels in the brain of people with chronic pain who are receiving spinal cord stimulation. It aims to see if brain oxygen changes can help manage pain better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have chronic pain in your trunk, arms, or legs that has not improved with other treatments for at least 6 months.
- Your average pain level is at least 5 out of 10 (or 50 out of 100).
- You have never had a spinal cord stimulator before.
- You do not have a pacemaker, deep brain stimulator, or other active implanted device.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a new type of spinal cord stimulator (a device that sends gentle electrical pulses to your spine to block pain signals) for people with chronic pain in their back, chest, or arms or legs. The goal is to see how well it works in real-life settings.
This trial studies whether changing the “stimulation pattern” of spinal cord stimulation can reduce long-lasting pain and improve daily function. You might be a good candidate if you have chronic trunk or leg pain and have already tried multiple pain treatments without enough relief.
This Phase 2 study looks at how spinal cord (or nerve-root) stimulation affects pain signals in the brain and body. You may qualify if you already have a stimulator set to a comfort mode that avoids “tingling” sensations.
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 if a spinal cord stimulator with a new way of adjusting electrical settings (called independent current control) can better manage chronic pain in the back, trunk, or limbs. The goal is to find more effective sequences to reduce pain and improve daily life.
This study uses EEG (a non-invasive brain wave recording) to understand how chronic pain affects the brain in people with spinal cord injury. It may help doctors tailor pain treatments in the future.
