SPINAL CORD STIMULATION

This study tests whether a personalized rehabilitation program helps people with persistent spinal pain syndrome (failed back surgery syndrome) return to work after receiving a spinal cord stimulator. About 112 participants will be randomly assigned to either the personalized pro…

This study tests whether a combination of electrical spinal cord stimulation and breathing exercises can improve respiratory function in people with chronic spinal cord injury. Researchers will enroll 30 adults with neck-level injuries to measure changes in breathing strength and…

This study tests whether a spinal cord stimulator—a device that sends mild electrical pulses to the spine—can reduce severe leg pain and improve blood flow in people with both painful diabetic neuropathy and peripheral artery disease. Fifteen adults who already have a permanent s…

This study tests a new way to place spinal cord stimulators in 20 adults with chronic lower back pain. Doctors will use special recordings during the procedure to confirm the device is targeting the right nerve area. The goal is to improve pain relief and understand how well this…

This study tests a temporary spinal cord stimulation device to help people with advanced Parkinson's disease who experience freezing of gait—a sudden inability to move their feet. Researchers will place small electrodes near the spine to see if it improves walking and reduces fal…

This study tests if magnetic stimulation on the neck or back, combined with brain stimulation, can improve walking and balance in people with Parkinson's disease. 30 participants will receive 10 treatment sessions. The goal is to find the best spot to stimulate to help with mobil…

This study aims to find out if spinal cord stimulation (SCS) truly reduces pain or if the relief comes from patients' expectations. Twenty-five adults who already have an SCS implant for chronic pain will take part in four test sessions. During each session, the device is turned …
