NCT ID NCT07413731

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused

Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early

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 looks at how different pain medications change the way the spinal cord responds to a special type of spinal cord stimulator. The device automatically adjusts its stimulation based on nerve signals. Researchers will follow 50 people with chronic back pain who are either on no pain meds, strong opioids, or anticonvulsants. The goal is to understand how these medications affect the device's performance and pain relief.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patient deemed a suitable candidate for SCS and routinely scheduled to undergo a trial phase with the Evoke SCS system. * Diagnosis of Persistent Spinal Pain Syndrome Type 2 (lower spine). * Current medication use: * No strong opioids or anticonvulsants, or other analgesics * Monotherapy with a strong opioid, or * Monotherapy with an anticonvulsant. * Willing and able to provide written informed consent to participate, based on a voluntary agreement after a full explanation of the study. * Age ≥ 18 years at the time of enrollment. * Willing and able to comply with study requirements, procedures, and follow-up visits. Exclusion Criteria: * Evidence of an active disruptive psychological or psychiatric disorder, or other condition significant enough to impact pain perception, compliance with intervention, or ability to evaluate outcomes (as determined by the investigator in consultation with a clinical psychologist). * Current diagnosis of a progressive neurological disease such as multiple sclerosis, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, rapidly progressive arachnoiditis, rapidly progressive diabetic peripheral neuropathy, brain or spinal cord tumor, or severe/critical spinal stenosis. * Current diagnosis or condition such as coagulation disorder, bleeding diathesis, platelet dysfunction, progressive peripheral vascular disease, or uncontrolled diabetes mellitus that presents excess risk for the procedure (as determined by the investigator). * Active systemic or local infection. * Pregnancy. * Within 6 months prior to enrollment: significant untreated addiction to dependency-producing medications or a history of substance abuse (including alcohol or illicit drugs).
