NCT ID NCT03681262

First seen May 15, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026

Summary

This study compares two types of spinal cord stimulation—high frequency and burst—to see which provides better long-term pain relief for people with chronic back or leg pain. About 7 adults who are candidates for spinal cord stimulation will be randomly assigned to one of the two waveforms and tracked for at least 36 months. The goal is to help doctors choose the best treatment option for each patient.
