Spinal Cord Stimulation and Exercise for Persistent Spinal Pain Syndrome
Study Overview
This study investigates how spinal cord stimulation (SCS) combined with exercise can help patients with persistent spinal pain syndrome (PSPS-T2). The goal is to see if this combination can reduce pain, improve quality of life, and decrease disability.
Study Design
We are conducting a double-blind randomized clinical trial. This means participants will be randomly assigned to either the treatment group or a control group without knowing which group they are in. The study follows strict guidelines to ensure reliability and has been registered at Clinicaltrial.gov.
Participants
We aim to recruit 52 participants, accounting for a possible 30% dropout rate. Each participant will attend two sessions per week for 8 weeks, totaling 16 sessions. Each session will last 60 minutes and will focus on safe exercises to avoid complications.
Expected Outcomes
The main outcomes we will measure include:
- Functionality
- Satisfaction
- Strength
- Psychosocial factors
- Quality of life
- Pain perception
Importance of Clinical Trials
