NCT ID NCT05741788
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is for people with chronic back or leg pain who are already scheduled to get a spinal cord stimulator. Researchers want to see if a new method called telefitting can find the best stimulation settings faster and more effectively. Participants will try different stimulation types without knowing which one they are using, and report their pain daily for four months. The goal is to improve pain relief and make the treatment more successful long-term.
