Summary

This pilot study looks at how lowering doses of pain medications like opioids and gabapentin affects the spinal cord's response to a special type of spinal cord stimulation (closed-loop SCS) in people with persistent back pain after surgery. About 20 adults who are already candidates for SCS will have their spinal cord sensitivity measured during a 21-day trial and up to 6 months after a permanent implant. The goal is to understand the relationship between medication tapering and how well the spinal cord responds to stimulation.
