This study tests whether a spinal cord stimulator, combined with breathing exercises, can improve respiratory function in people with chronic spinal cord injury. Thirty adults with neck-level injuries will undergo 16 weeks of training while using the device. Researchers will meas…

This study tests a new method for placing spinal cord stimulators in people with chronic back pain. The device uses electrical recordings to confirm the lead is in the right spot. Twenty adults with long-term back pain will take part, and researchers will measure pain relief and …

This study tests whether a temporary spinal cord stimulator can help people with advanced Parkinson's disease who experience freezing of gait—a sudden inability to move their feet—that doesn't respond to medication. Five participants will receive the device, which delivers mild e…

This study tests whether high-frequency spinal cord stimulation can reduce leg pain and improve quality of life in people with both peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and painful diabetic neuropathy. Fifteen adults who already have a spinal cord stimulator implanted will receive t…

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

This study aims to find out if spinal cord stimulation (SCS) truly reduces pain or if the effect is just due to patients' expectations. Twenty-five adults with chronic pain who already have an SCS implant will take part in four test sessions. During each session, the stimulator w…
