Short-term spinal cord stimulation for diabetic foot nerve pain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a treatment called spinal cord stimulation for people with diabetic foot pain that hasn't improved with standard treatments. It uses mild electrical pulses to block pain signals and might help if you can't have or don't want surgery on your leg blood vessels.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have type 2 diabetes and diabetic foot ulcers (Wagner grade 1-3).
- You have had moderate to severe foot pain for at least 3 months despite standard treatments like pain medicines and wound care.
- You cannot have surgery to restore blood flow in your legs, or you still have pain after such surgery, or you choose not to have it.
- You are able to understand the study and fill out questionnaires about your pain.
- You do not have spine problems, bleeding disorders, serious infections, or severe heart, liver, kidney, or lung disease.
- You aren't pregnant or breastfeeding, and you are not in another trial for similar treatments.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests if a special type of spinal cord stimulation (high-frequency SCS) can better relieve painful nerve damage caused by diabetes. If you have long-term burning, stabbing, or electric-shock-like pain in both legs, this treatment may help reduce that pain.
This study tests whether a spinal cord stimulator (a device that uses mild electrical pulses to block pain signals) can help people with diabetic nerve pain that hasn't responded to other treatments. If you have long-term nerve pain from diabetes and other pain meds haven't worked, this trial might be an option for you.
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 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 tests whether using a non-invasive device to stimulate the vagus nerve can reduce nerve pain and improve function in people with diabetic neuropathy. It may be a good option if you have burning or electric-shock-like foot pain despite standard diabetes care.
This trial tests if spinal cord stimulation (a device that sends mild electrical pulses to your spinal cord) can help relieve long-lasting nerve pain in your arm or leg that hasn't gotten better with other treatments. It's for people who have had this pain for at least 6 months and are willing to try a new approach.
