BurstDR spinal cord stimulation for painful diabetic neuropathy
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a type of spinal cord stimulation called BurstDR to see if it can reduce pain from diabetic nerve damage. It may help people with diabetes who have ongoing leg pain that hasn't gotten better with standard pain medications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 19 years or older.
- You have diabetes and nerve damage in your legs causing pain for at least 6 months.
- Your average daily pain level is at least 6 out of 10.
- You have tried at least two types of pain medicines without enough relief.
- You have not had a spinal cord stimulator placed before.

This study tests if a spinal cord stimulator (a device that sends mild electrical pulses to the spine) can relieve severe leg pain caused by diabetic nerve damage and poor blood flow. It may help people who have not found enough relief from other treatments.
This trial studies whether a spinal cord stimulator can reduce pain from diabetic nerve damage in the legs. It focuses on people with long-lasting type 2 diabetes and significant, treatment-resistant pain.
This study tests whether a specific type of spinal cord stimulation (called BurstDR) is better than a sham (inactive) treatment for people who already have good pain relief from it. If you join, half the time your device will deliver the usual stimulation and the other half it will be turned off, so you and the doctors can see if the stimulation is truly working.
This trial tests whether stem cells injected near your spinal cord can improve pain relief from your existing spinal cord stimulator (BurstDR device). You're only eligible if your current stimulator is already helping with at least 50% pain reduction.
This trial explores whether a new treatment can improve pain, physical activity, and quality of life for people with painful diabetic neuropathy. It also looks at effects on memory and thinking.
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.
