NCT ID NCT04909138
First seen Dec 24, 2025 · Last updated May 28, 2026 · Updated 18 times
Summary
This study looks at whether using a nerve stimulator in short bursts (30 seconds on, 90 seconds off) can provide the same or better pain relief as continuous stimulation. It involves 30 adults who have had a dorsal root ganglion stimulator for at least a year and report at least 50% pain relief. Participants will try two different stimulation frequencies (20 Hz and 5 Hz) in a crossover design to see which works best.
