Spinal cord stimulation and sensation study
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how a spinal cord stimulator affects your sense of touch and movement. It may help doctors better understand how this device works for people with chronic pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 85 years old.
- You are getting a spinal cord stimulator implanted (a device that helps manage chronic pain with mild electrical pulses).
- You can walk about 30 feet without using a cane, walker, or help from another person.
- You are willing and able to give written permission to be in the study.
- You do not have a high risk of falling.

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 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.
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 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 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 whether a spinal cord stimulator (a device that sends mild electrical pulses to the spine) can help improve leg function in people with a spinal cord injury. It's for those who already need a stimulator for chronic pain.
