First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated May 17, 2026 · Updated 22 times
Summary
This study aims to find out if spinal cord stimulation (SCS) truly reduces pain or if the effect is just due to patients' expectations. 25 adults with chronic pain who already have an SCS implant will take part in four test sessions where the device is turned on or off without them knowing. Their pain levels will be tracked to separate the real treatment effect from the placebo effect.
