Summary

This trial is studying if nerve stimulation plus medical care is better than medical care alone to treat chronic nerve pain due to trauma or surgery.

Who is the study for?
Adults aged 18-80 with chronic, intractable peripheral neuropathic pain not including the face, who have a pain score of at least 6 and stable pain for 60 days. They must be on consistent pain medication for 30 days and cannot have an active implantable device or certain medical conditions that would interfere with the study.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the Nalu Neurostimulation System plus conventional medical management against conventional medical management alone to treat chronic peripheral neuralgia from post-traumatic or postsurgical origins. It's a controlled trial where participants are randomly assigned to one of these two groups.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include discomfort at the site of stimulation, skin irritation from adhesives or device wearables, and typical risks associated with any surgical procedure if applicable.
