Summary
This study aimed to test a closed-loop spinal cord stimulation device to reduce spasticity and pain in people who had a stroke or brain injury. It was designed for adults with chronic neuropathic pain and spasticity lasting more than three months. However, the trial was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no results are available.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. First-ever stroke 2. Aged 18 and older 3. Neuropathic pain \>3 months (chronic) 4. Brain injury associated with spasticity in one or multiple limbs \>3 months post-stroke 5. No previous history of neuropathic pain or spasticity in affected limbs 6. Cognitively capable to operate the SCS system Exclusion Criteria: 1. Inadequate Pain Severity: Patients with mild or non-debilitating pain may be excluded if the treatment is intended for individuals with moderate to severe pain. 2. Previous SCS Implantation: Patients who have previously undergone SCS implantation may be excluded to focus on those who are new to the therapy. 3. Inadequate Pain Duration: Some trials may exclude patients whose pain has not persisted for a minimum period to ensure that the pain condition is chronic. 4. Medical Comorbidities: Patients with certain medical conditions or comorbidities that may increase the risks associated with SCS, such as uncontrolled cardiovascular disease, uncontrolled diabetes, or active infections, may be excluded. 5. Psychological Factors: Patients with severe psychiatric disorders or psychological conditions that may interfere with the assessment of pain or the ability to provide informed consent may be excluded. 6. Allergies or Sensitivities: Patients with allergies to materials used in SCS devices or contraindications to the anesthesia used during implantation may be excluded. 7. Substance Abuse: Patients with active substance abuse or addiction issues may be excluded due to concerns about treatment compliance and efficacy.
