This study will evaluate the effect of Burst spinal cord stimulation (SCS) in the treatment of painful radiculopathy in lower extremity(ies) with or without lower back pain. It is a multicenter double-blinded "n-of-1" RCT with repeated two-week periods of Burst SCS or sham in randomised order.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Usual pain intensity in lower extremity(ies) | Numeric rating scale (0-10); usual pain intensity over the last 24 h (day 7-13) with anchor points 0 = No pain and 10 = Worst imaginable pain. | Will be measured at day 7 to day 13 in each period (to avoid carry-over effects from previous treatment period) | |
Secondary | Highest pain intensity in lower extremity(ies) | Numeric rating scale (0-10); highest pain intensity over the last 24 h (day 7-13) with anchor points 0 = No pain and 10 = Worst imaginable pain | Will be measured at day 7 to day 13 in each period (to avoid carry-over effects from previous treatment period) | |
Secondary | Lowest pain intensity in lower extremity(ies) | Numeric rating scale (0-10); lowest pain intensity over the last 24 h (day 7-13) with anchor points 0 = No pain and 10 = Worst imaginable pain | Time Frame: Will be measured at day 7 to day 13 in each period (to avoid carry-over effects from previous treatment period) | |
Secondary | Pain intensity in lower extremity(ies)"now" | Numeric rating scale (0-10); evening pain intensity (day 7-13), with anchor points 0 = No pain and 10 = Worst imaginable pain | Time Frame: Will be measured at day 7 to day 13 in each period (to avoid carry-over effects from previous treatment period) | |
Secondary | Pain unpleasantness | Numeric rating scale (0-10) of pain unpleasantness the last 24 hours, with anchor points 0 = no unpleasantness to 10 = worst imaginable unpleasantness. | Time Frame: Will be measured at day 7 to day 13 in each period (to avoid carry-over effects from previous treatment period) | |
Secondary | Three individually chosen functions that are inhibited by the pain | The Patient-Specific Functional Scale (Numeric Rating Scale (0-10)) (day 7-13). Anchor points 0 = Unable to perform activity to 10 = Able to perform activity. | Time Frame: Will be measured at day 7 to day 13 in each 14-day treatment period (to avoid carry-over effects from previous treatment period) | |
Secondary | Insomnia | Insomnia Severity Index questionnaire. (Likert scale: 0= no problem, 4 = very severe problem, total score up to 28. Total score (continuous variable) | Time Frame: Will be measured at the end of each 14-day treatment period | |
Secondary | EQ-5D index values | EQ5D index values according to the EQ-5D UK Time Trade-off (TTO) value set. | Time Frame: Will be measured at the end of each 14-day treatment period | |
Secondary | EQ-5D self-rated health | VAS 0-100 scale. | Time Frame: Will be measured at the end of each 14-day treatment period | |
Secondary | Patient impression of change | Patient Global Impression of Change questionnaire. Patient's global impression of change (function, symptoms and quality of life) since last control (about 14 days prior): Very much improved, much improved, minimally improved, no change, minimally worse, much worse, very much worse. | Time Frame: Will be measured at the end of each 14-day treatment period | |
Secondary | Patient blinding questionnaire | Does the patient think that the system has been turned on or off | Time Frame: Will be measured at the end of each 14-day treatment period | |
Secondary | Synptoms of anxiety and depression | Hopkins Symptom Checklist-25. Likert scale, from 1(Not at all) to 4 (Extremely), mean of sumscore, 25 in total. Change in totalscore (Continious variable). | Time Frame: Will be measured at the end of each 14-day treatment period | |
Secondary | Usual pain intensity in lower back | Numeric rating scale (0-10); usual pain intensity over the last 24 h (day 7-13) with anchor points 0 = No pain and 10 = Worst imaginable pain. | Will be measured at day 7 to day 13 in each period (to avoid carry-over effects from previous treatment period) |
