Could a common blood pressure pill also ease chronic pain?

NCT ID NCT04676399

Summary

This study aims to understand if lowering blood pressure can help manage chronic pain. It involves 36 adults who have both chronic back pain and high blood pressure, and who already have a permanent spinal cord stimulator. Participants will take a standard blood pressure pill (a diuretic) for two weeks and a placebo for two weeks, in a random order, to see if their pain levels change.
