Psychology and spinal cord stimulation for chronic pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial studies how psychological assessment can help people with long-term pain who are getting Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS)—a treatment that uses mild electrical pulses to block pain signals. You may join if you've had chronic pain for at least 6 months, are eligible for SCS, and speak Italian.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had chronic pain for at least 6 months, and it is moderate to severe (rated over 4 on a 0–10 scale).
- Your doctor believes you can benefit from Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS).
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are willing to attend study visits and follow procedures.
- You understand and speak Italian.
- You can give written consent to participate.

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 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 study looks at how spinal cord stimulation affects chronic pain in adults who already have the device implanted. It may help researchers understand who benefits most and how stable pain and treatments need to be to measure results.
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 trial tests a treatment bundle that combines a spinal cord stimulator (a device that sends mild electrical pulses to your spine to block pain signals) with a team of specialists (like a psychologist and physical therapist) to reduce chronic nerve pain in the legs and improve your ability to move and function.
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.
