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 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 trial tests a closed-loop spinal cord stimulator that adjusts stimulation based on nerve signals. It may help people with chronic pain who are already scheduled to try this type of device.
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 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.
