NCT ID NCT07153211
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how spinal cord stimulation (SCS) changes certain molecules in the blood and spinal fluid of people with long-term nerve pain. Researchers will measure inflammatory markers and other signaling molecules before and after SCS in 30 adults. The goal is to understand how SCS works and find ways to personalize therapy for better pain control.
