Summary

Doctors sometimes treat chronic pain with devices that send mild electrical currents into the spinal cord. This type of treatment is referred to as neurostimulation. A common form of neurostimulation therapy is spinal cord stimulation (SCS). In this study, how SCS affects pain processing and relieves pain will be studied. Multiple forms of SCS will be examined in chronic pain patients who are receiving SCS from their own doctors as part of their standard of care. During the study, participants will be asked to complete a variety of evaluations at certain time points.

Conditions

  • Chronic Pain
  • Failed Back Surgery Syndrome
  • Complex Regional Pain Syndromes
  • Neuropathic Pain

Interventions

DEVICE

Spinal cord stimulation

The spinal cord stimulation (SCS) system will be programmed to deliver, according to the randomization status of the participant, burst, kHz, tonic, and sham stimulation.
