Study of an online tool to help choose spinal cord stimulation
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests an online tool that helps doctors decide if spinal cord stimulation (a treatment that uses mild electrical pulses to block pain signals) is right for you. It may help people with certain long-term pain conditions who haven't found relief from other treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have had chronic pain for at least 6 months.
- You have one of these pain types: pain after back surgery, complex regional pain syndrome, nerve pain, or pain from poor blood flow.
- Your pain is at least moderate (a score of 5 or more on a 0-10 scale) and affects your daily life.
- You have tried other treatments like medication, physical therapy, or nerve blocks, but they didn't help enough or caused side effects.
- You are willing to have a device implanted and can manage it.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 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.
This study uses a smartwatch and questionnaires to understand how spinal cord stimulation affects daily life. It may help improve treatment for people with chronic pain.
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 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.
