BurstDR stimulation versus sham for stable pain relief
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether BurstDR spinal cord stimulation (a type of electrical stimulation for the spine that helps reduce pain) continues to work well in people who have already had good pain relief with it. It compares the BurstDR mode to a sham (inactive) mode to see if the real stimulation is what helps.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You already have a spinal cord stimulator that can deliver BurstDR stimulation.
- You have had good pain relief from BurstDR (at least 50% reduction) for at least 3 months.
- Your pain medications have been stable for the past 4 weeks.
- You are able to use electronic diaries and follow study procedures.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a type of spinal cord stimulation called BurstDR to see if it can reduce pain from diabetic nerve damage. It may help people with diabetes who have ongoing leg pain that hasn't gotten better with standard pain medications.
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 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 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 uses a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS to see if it can reduce chronic pain in people with certain pain conditions. You would self-administer the treatment and report your results.
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.
