Nerve pain in legs: spinal cord stimulation plus team care
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a treatment bundle that combines a spinal cord stimulator (a device that sends mild electrical pulses to your spine to block pain signals) with a team of specialists (like a psychologist and physical therapist) to reduce chronic nerve pain in the legs and improve your ability to move and function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have nerve pain in one or both legs that has lasted more than 6 months, caused by failed back surgery or a specific nerve injury.
- You are between 18 and 60 years old.
- You have tried other treatments (like physical therapy or surgery) for your pain before.
- If you use opioids, your daily dose is less than the morphine equivalent of 50 mg.
- You live close enough to Oslo to travel there for appointments.
- You can speak and understand Norwegian well enough for therapy sessions.
- You are willing to take an active part in a program that combines a spinal cord stimulator with counseling and physical therapy.

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 (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 two different ways to place spinal cord stimulator leads to see which works better for nerve pain that started after a surgery. If you have had pain in one arm, one leg, or one side of your body for more than six months that hasn't improved with other treatments, this study may be an option for you.
This trial studies how psychological assessment can help people with long-term pain who are getting Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS)—a treatment that uses mild electrical pulses to block pain signals. You may join if you've had chronic pain for at least 6 months, are eligible for SCS, and speak Italian.
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 tests if combining electrical stimulation of the spinal cord with personalized physical therapy can help improve leg movement in people with spinal cord injury. It may be an option if you have a stable injury between the upper back and lower back and can commit to frequent therapy sessions.
