Spinal Cord Induced Muscle Stimulation (MuscleSCS) for Chronic Low Back Pain
This study is looking at a treatment called MuscleSCS (spinal cord induced muscle stimulation) for people with long-lasting low back pain. Researchers want to see how safe and effective MuscleSCS is. You might be able to join if you are at least 18 years old, have specific types of back pain (PSPS type 1 and 2), and already have a spinal cord stimulator (SCS) system with BurstDR stimulation that has given you more than 50% pain relief for over six months. The study will measure success by looking at your pain levels (NRS), how much your pain affects your daily life (ODI), and your overall quality of life (EQ5D-5L) from when you start until three months later. The current status of this study is unclear.
- Study design
