SPINAL CORD STIMULATION

This study tests a new method for placing spinal cord stimulator leads using electrical recordings (ECAP) to ensure the device targets the right nerves. Twenty adults with chronic lower back pain will receive the procedure, and researchers will measure pain relief using a standar…

This study tests a temporary, minimally invasive spinal cord stimulation device to help people with advanced Parkinson's disease who experience freezing of gait—a sudden inability to move their feet. The goal is to improve walking stability and reduce fall risk. Five participants…

This study tests whether a spinal cord stimulator can reduce leg pain and improve quality of life in people with type 2 diabetes, painful nerve damage, and peripheral artery disease. Fifteen adults who already have a spinal cord stimulator will receive two weeks of active stimula…

This study tests whether a personalized rehabilitation program helps people with persistent spinal pain syndrome (failed back surgery syndrome) return to work after spinal cord stimulation. About 112 participants will either receive the tailored program or usual care. The goal is…

This study tests whether a combination of electrical spinal cord stimulation and breathing exercises can improve respiratory function in people with chronic spinal cord injury. Researchers will enroll 30 adults with a spinal injury at or above the chest level who have significant…

This study tests if magnetic stimulation applied to the spine, combined with brain stimulation, can improve walking and balance in people with Parkinson's disease. Thirty participants will receive 10 sessions of either neck or upper-back stimulation. The goal is to find which spo…

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 th…
