NCT ID NCT05777889
First seen Jan 07, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 26 times
Summary
This study uses a special thermal camera to take pictures of the feet of people with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) before and after they receive spinal cord stimulation. The goal is to see if the stimulation changes blood flow and temperature in the painful limb. Researchers will also ask participants about their pain levels. Only 12 people will take part, and the study does not test a new drug or treatment.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that thermal imaging is a useful tool to measure how well spinal cord stimulation works for CRPS.
What could go wrong
This is a very small observational study with only 12 people. It is not testing a new treatment, just a measurement method, so it may not lead to direct patient benefits.
