Stem cells to improve spinal cord stimulation pain relief
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have PSPS type 2 (a specific type of chronic pain condition)
- Your main pain is in the lower back, not primarily in your legs
- Your spinal cord stimulator (BurstDR) is already working well for you—at least 50% better pain relief
- You're at least 18 years old and can follow study instructions
- Your back pain hasn't gotten significantly better than 30% since starting your stimulator, or you're willing to try this addition
- You're willing to have stem cells injected and participate in follow-up visits

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 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 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.
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.
