A study of spinal cord stimulation for chronic leg pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have had chronic leg or foot pain from nerve damage for at least 6 months.
- Your pain must be moderate to severe (4 or higher on a 0-10 scale).
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You should not have other active medical devices implanted, like a pacemaker.
- You cannot be pregnant or have an active infection at the surgery site.
- You must not have a current cancer diagnosis or a life expectancy under 1 year.

This trial studies a targeted spinal cord stimulation therapy to reduce severe, long-lasting pain. It may help people whose pain is due to failed back surgery and who can safely use the implanted system.
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 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 tests how changing your pain medications while using a spinal cord stimulator affects your nervous system. It may help people with chronic lower back pain find the best way to manage their pain and reduce reliance on strong drugs.
This study tests whether lowering pain medication can improve how well spinal cord stimulation works. It is for people who already take certain pain medicines and are scheduled to try a spinal cord stimulator.
This trial tests if spinal cord stimulation (a device that sends mild electrical pulses to your spinal cord) can help relieve long-lasting nerve pain in your arm or leg that hasn't gotten better with other treatments. It's for people who have had this pain for at least 6 months and are willing to try a new approach.
