Burst Spinal Cord Stimulation for Neuropathic Pain

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Recently a novel stimulation design was developed, called burst stimulation. In a non-placebo controlled pilot study burst stimulation seemed superior to tonic stimulation over a period extending more than 2 years, and even though an incidental finding, this design seemed capable of suppressing pain without mandatory induction of paresthesias. This permits for the first time to scientifically prove that spinal cord stimulation is better than placebo stimulation. A study was therefore initiated to find out whether spinal cord stimulation is indeed capable of suppressing neuropathic limb pain in a placebo controlled way.

Clinical Trial Description

Patients receive three type of stimulation (burst, tonic and sham). We want to compare these different stimulation protocol to verify which one is the one the patient prefer the most and have the least side-effects (paresthesia) ;

Study Design

Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Factorial Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor), Primary Purpose: Treatment
