BurstDR spinal cord stimulation versus inactive treatment in responders
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a specific type of spinal cord stimulation (called BurstDR) is better than a sham (inactive) treatment for people who already have good pain relief from it. If you join, half the time your device will deliver the usual stimulation and the other half it will be turned off, so you and the doctors can see if the stimulation is truly working.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have an implanted spinal cord stimulation device that can be set to BurstDR mode
- You have had good pain relief (at least 50% reduction) with BurstDR for at least 3 months
- Your pain medications have been stable for at least 4 weeks before the study
- You can complete electronic diaries and follow study procedures
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and have no infection or problems at the device site

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 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 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 looks at how spinal cord stimulation affects chronic pain in adults who already have the device implanted. It may help researchers understand who benefits most and how stable pain and treatments need to be to measure results.
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 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.
