SPINAL CORD STIMULATION

This study is testing a new rehabilitation method to help people with chronic spinal cord injuries breathe better. Researchers are combining electrical stimulation of the spinal cord with special breathing exercises. They aim to see if this combination can improve lung function a…

This study is testing a new way to place and program a spinal cord stimulator for people with chronic back pain. Doctors will use real-time measurements of nerve activity during surgery to help position the device more precisely. The goal is to see if this method leads to better …

This study is testing whether magnetic stimulation applied to the spine, combined with brain stimulation, can improve walking and balance in people with Parkinson's disease. Researchers will compare whether stimulating the neck or the upper back is more effective. Participants wi…

This study is testing if a device that sends electrical pulses to the spinal cord can help reduce leg pain in people who have both painful diabetic nerve damage and poor blood circulation. Up to 15 participants who already have the device implanted will try two weeks of real stim…

This study is testing whether a temporary, minimally invasive spinal cord stimulator can help people with advanced Parkinson's disease walk more steadily. The device, placed near the spine, sends electrical pulses and is being tried to reduce episodes where patients suddenly feel…

This study is testing whether a personalized 14-week rehabilitation program helps people with chronic back pain after spine surgery return to work better than usual care. The program involves physical, occupational, and psychological therapy. About 112 participants will be random…

This study aims to understand how much of spinal cord stimulation's pain relief comes from the actual treatment versus patients' expectations. Researchers will secretly turn the stimulation on and off during short sessions for 25 adults who already use the device for chronic pain…
