Evaluating Optimal Spinal Cord Stimulation Trial Length

This study is looking at the best length of time for a Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) trial, which is a temporary test to see if SCS helps with chronic pain before a permanent device is implanted. Researchers want to find the shortest trial duration that can accurately predict if SCS will be successful for you. They will look at your daily pain scores and how satisfied you are. You might be able to join if you are an adult (18 or older) with chronic pain for more than 12 weeks, and your doctor thinks SCS is a good option for you. The study aims to see if a shorter trial can still show good results, potentially making the process safer and more efficient. The current status of this study is unclear.

Study design
This is an observational study involving about 42 participants who are already undergoing a Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) trial as part of their regular medical care. There are no study-specific interventions.
What's involved
You will undergo a Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) trial as part of your standard medical care. The study will collect information on your daily pain scores and satisfaction.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
The primary outcome, determining the minimum SCS trial duration, will be measured at 15 days.
