Summary
This trial will test if high frequency spinal cord stimulation can reduce pain & improve neurological function in patients with diabetic neuropathy. #medicaltrial
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 22 with chronic lower limb pain from diabetic neuropathy, who've had stable pain medication use and a hemoglobin A1c ≤10%. They should have tried multiple pain relief methods without success. Exclusions include severe cardiovascular issues, high opioid use, certain psychological conditions, BMI >45, or other conflicting medical devices or conditions.
What is being tested?
The study tests if a high-frequency spinal cord stimulation (SCS) at 10 kHz plus conventional medical management (CMM) can better manage pain and improve neurological function in patients with painful diabetic neuropathy compared to CMM alone. Participants are randomly assigned to one of the two groups.
What are the potential side effects?
While not explicitly stated here, typical side effects of SCS may include infection at the implant site, bleeding, headache, allergic reaction to device materials or worsening pain. Side effects vary by individual.
