Virtual pain education for spinal cord stimulator patients
Part of Mental health, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests an online program that teaches pain management skills before your spinal cord stimulator trial surgery. The goal is to help you feel more prepared and improve your outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have a scheduled date for a spinal cord stimulator trial surgery.
- You are 18 years or older.
- You can speak, read, and understand English.
- You have regular access to a device with internet, camera, and microphone (smartphone, tablet, or computer).
- You are willing and able to join virtual video visits using secure apps like Zoom, Doximity, or MyChart.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 trial studies how well a new neurostimulation system (the Evoke System) works for chronic pain. If you're planning a temporary trial, you'll use voice-guided programming (EVA) to help manage your pain, and the study will track how it works for you.
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 if a spinal cord stimulator with a new way of adjusting electrical settings (called independent current control) can better manage chronic pain in the back, trunk, or limbs. The goal is to find more effective sequences to reduce pain and improve daily life.
This Phase 2 study looks at how spinal cord (or nerve-root) stimulation affects pain signals in the brain and body. You may qualify if you already have a stimulator set to a comfort mode that avoids “tingling” sensations.
This study tests whether using virtual reality (VR) can help people with chronic pain learn more about their condition and how to manage it. It aims to see if VR is a useful and acceptable educational tool for pain rehabilitation.
