Brain scans may predict back pain treatment success

NCT ID NCT04658628

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether brain scans can help predict which people with chronic low back pain will get good pain relief from spinal cord stimulation (SCS). Researchers will scan the brains of 42 adults before they receive SCS as part of their normal care. They will then check pain levels two weeks after treatment to see if certain brain patterns can forecast who responds best.
