Nerve stimulation for pain after spine fracture
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a 60-day nerve stimulation treatment to reduce pain and improve mobility after a recent spine fracture caused by osteoporosis. It may help patients who still have significant pain despite over-the-counter pain relievers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman aged 18 or older.
- You have osteoporosis and a recent (less than 3 months) spine fracture in your upper or lower back.
- Your pain is moderate to severe (at least 4 out of 10 on a pain scale) or limits your daily activities.
- You have tried over-the-counter pain relief like ibuprofen, acetaminophen, or lidocaine patches without enough help.
- You do not have a pacemaker or defibrillator.

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.
This trial tests how well two types of peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) devices relieve chronic pain caused by a single nerve injury. It looks for people who already have a referral for PNS therapy as part of their usual care and who have gotten at least 50% relief from a diagnostic nerve block.
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 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 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.
This trial tests whether spinal cord stimulation (a device that sends mild electrical pulses to your spine) can help people with severe nerve pain in their neck, back, or limbs who haven't found relief from other treatments. You must already be scheduled to get a specific type of spinal cord stimulator for this study.
