Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting

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.

Summary

This study follows 2,000 people with chronic pain who are implanted with Abbott neurostimulators (spinal cord or dorsal root ganglion stimulators). Researchers will track side effects, device problems, and how well the devices control pain over time. It is an observational study, meaning no new treatment is being tested—just real-world data collection.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) or dorsal root ganglion (DRG) stimulation device
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could confirm that Abbott's neurostimulators are safe and effective for long-term chronic pain management in real-world settings.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so results may be influenced by factors other than the device. It does not test a new treatment, only monitors existing ones.
