Spinal implant plus exercise may ease back pain after failed surgery
NCT ID NCT06272539
First seen Jul 07, 2026 · Last updated Jul 08, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study investigates whether combining spinal cord stimulation with a specific exercise program can reduce pain and improve quality of life in people with persistent back pain after surgery (failed back surgery syndrome). Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the combined treatment or exercise alone over 8 weeks. The goal is to see if the combination offers better relief than exercise by itself.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Spinal cord stimulation device and exercise program
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this combination approach could offer a better way to manage chronic back pain and disability after failed surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 36 participants, so results may not apply widely. There is also a risk of electrode migration during exercise.
