Ziconotide pain pump for chemotherapy nerve pain
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a drug called ziconotide, given through a pump that delivers it directly into the fluid around your spinal cord, to see if it can help with nerve pain caused by chemotherapy. The drug is already approved for severe chronic pain, but this research focuses on chemotherapy-related nerve pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- Your nerve pain must be caused by chemotherapy (not by diabetes or another condition).
- You must already have or be scheduled to get a Medtronic Synchromed intrathecal pump (a device that delivers pain medicine to your spinal fluid) placed by Dr. Beuer.
- If you take opioid pain medication, you must be willing to stop it for 2 weeks before the pump implant.
- You cannot have a spinal cord stimulator (a different kind of pain device).
- You must be able to give consent for yourself (no legally authorized representative).

This trial tests whether a new type of spinal cord stimulator (SCS) can reduce pain caused by chemotherapy. If you have lasting nerve pain after cancer treatment and standard pain medications haven't helped, this device might offer relief.
This trial tests a device that sends mild electrical signals to your spine to help reduce nerve pain in your legs caused by chemotherapy. It may be an option if other pain medicines haven't worked for you.
This study looks at a medicine called ziconotide, given through a pump in your spine (intrathecal delivery) to treat chronic pain that is not from cancer. It aims to learn how safe and effective this treatment is in real-world patients.
This trial tests whether a spinal cord stimulator, a small device that sends gentle electrical signals to block pain, can relieve nerve pain caused by chemotherapy. If you have ongoing numbness or burning in your hands or feet after treatment, this study might help you feel better and improve your quality of life.
This study follows adults with severe, long-lasting pain that has not responded to other treatments, to see how the pain medicine ziconotide works in everyday clinical practice. You may be considered if you’re being evaluated for an implanted pain-delivery system that gives ziconotide into the spinal fluid.
This study tests whether a small device that sends gentle electrical pulses to nerves in your leg can relieve pain caused by chemotherapy. If you have ongoing nerve pain in your legs from past chemo, this treatment might offer a new way to manage it.
