First seen Dec 24, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 15 times

Summary

This study looks at whether turning a nerve stimulator on and off (30 seconds on, 90 seconds off) works as well as leaving it on all the time for people with chronic pain from conditions like CRPS, radiculopathy, or peripheral neuropathy. About 30 adults who have had a spinal nerve stimulator for at least a year and get good pain relief will try two different settings. The goal is to see if intermittent dosing can maintain pain relief and improve satisfaction.
