Scientists secretly turn off pain devices to test Mind's role

NCT ID NCT07330466

Summary

This study aims to understand how much of spinal cord stimulation's pain relief comes from the actual treatment versus patients' expectations. Researchers will secretly turn the stimulation on and off during short sessions for 25 adults who already use the device for chronic pain. By measuring pain levels when patients don't know if their device is active, the study hopes to separate real treatment effects from placebo effects.
