What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only This study
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.

Summary

This study asks how long a spinal cord stimulator (SCS) trial should last to accurately predict whether it will relieve chronic pain. People with chronic pain undergoing a standard SCS trial will fill out daily surveys about their pain and function. The goal is to find the shortest trial duration that still gives reliable results, which could lower risks like infection or bleeding. The findings may help doctors tailor trial lengths to each patient's needs.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Daily surveys during a spinal cord stimulation trial procedure
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors determine the shortest safe trial period for spinal cord stimulation, reducing infection and bleeding risks while still accurately predicting long-term pain relief.
What could go wrong
The study is observational and does not test a new treatment, so it may not change practice if results are inconclusive. Individual responses vary, and the optimal duration may differ across patients.
