Comparing an all-in-one procedure with at-home screening for chronic pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests if a single, all-in-one procedure works as well as the usual two-step process (screening at home first) for people with long-term nerve pain. It looks at how well pain is controlled and whether the simpler approach saves money.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have chronic nerve pain from conditions like persistent spinal pain, painful diabetic neuropathy, complex regional pain syndrome, or small fiber neuropathy.
- You are 18 or older and have had pain for at least 6 months, with a pain level of 5 out of 10 or higher.
- Your doctor has already recommended a spinal cord stimulator for your pain.
- You are willing to fill out extra questionnaires during the study.
- You are able to understand and sign a consent form.
- You do not have a drug pump, pacemaker, or other active implant, and you are not pregnant, do not abuse drugs, and have no active infection or bleeding disorder.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two ways of delivering spinal cord stimulation to see which better reduces pain in people with persistent spinal pain syndrome type 2. You would be assigned to one of the stimulation “burst” patterns and followed for changes in your pain experience.
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 how much of the pain relief from spinal cord stimulation is due to the placebo effect. It is for people with ongoing leg pain after back surgery who have already tried other treatments without success.
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 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.
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.
