Best length for a spinal cord stimulation test
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study is testing how long a spinal cord stimulation trial should last to best diagnose whether it will help your chronic pain. It compares different trial lengths to see which one gives the most accurate result.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be over 18 years old and able to give consent.
- You must have chronic pain that has lasted longer than 12 weeks.
- Your pain should be the type that might be helped by spinal cord stimulation.

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 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 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 checks a “remote fitting” process to set up spinal cord stimulation for people with high levels of pain. You may be a fit if you are planning a stimulation trial and have severe pain right now.
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 study compares different lengths of spinal cord stimulation trial periods to find out which helps patients with chronic pain the most. If you have chronic pain and are scheduled for a spinal cord stimulation trial, this study might help determine the best treatment approach.
