Virtual pain education for spinal cord stimulator patients
Part of Mental health, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests an online program that teaches you about pain in a way that can be understood, to help you prepare for your spinal cord stimulator trial. It uses video visits with a coach to help you learn how pain works and how to manage it better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have a planned date for your spinal cord stimulator trial surgery.
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You can speak, read, and understand English well enough to complete surveys and participate in the online sessions.
- You have regular access to a smart device or computer with a camera and microphone for video visits.
- You are willing and able to attend virtual video sessions using a platform like Zoom, Doximity, or MyChart.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a new type of spinal cord stimulator (a device that sends gentle electrical pulses to your spine to block pain signals) for people with chronic pain in their back, chest, or arms or legs. The goal is to see how well it works in real-life settings.
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 whether using virtual reality can help people with chronic pain learn more about their condition and rehabilitation. It may make pain education more engaging and effective.
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.
