Shock therapy for back surgery pain: does it really work?
NCT ID NCT06585033
First seen Sep 30, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 28 times
Summary
This study tests whether a spinal cord stimulator (a device that sends mild electrical pulses to the spine) can reduce stubborn leg pain that persists after back surgery. About 50 adults aged 18-70 who still have significant leg pain despite other treatments will receive both active stimulation and sham (no stimulation) for 3 months each, without knowing which is which. The goal is to see if the stimulation truly helps with pain, quality of life, and daily function.
