Spinal Cord Stimulation Versus Nerve Blocks and Physical Therapy

NCT00414804 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Last updated 2012-02-15

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The primary objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of SCS using the Precision implantable neurostimulation device and conventional medical treatment (nerve blocks + physical therapy) in subjects with recently-diagnosed Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) after some more conservative treatments have failed. There are significant numbers of patients with CRPS in whom conventional treatment is ineffective and SCS is used only as a last resort. If SCS is effective earlier in the treatment continuum, it would provide a much needed treatment alternative and increase awareness of the utility of SCS for this indication. It is also possible that early intervention with SCS may limit disease progression.
