When standard treatments fail, many patients develop treatment resistant pain and undergo Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) therapy. SCS uses an implanted device to send mild electrical currents to the spine to block pain signals before they reach the brain. However, long-term success is often limited by how a patient's nervous system and brain process chronic pain, as well as psychological factors like anxiety and excessive worrying about pain, also known as catastrophizing.\n\nTo improve outcomes, this study combines SCS therapy with Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE). PNE is an educational approach that teaches patients how the brain and nervous system handle pain signals, reframing pain as a process that can be changed rather than just ongoing tissue damage. The goal of this pilot trial is to test the feasibility of using virtual, remote PNE sessions to help patients reduce pain catastrophizing and anxiety, while building overall psychological resilience. Additionally, the study explores an innovative, objective way to monitor pain levels by analyzing short voice recordings. Researchers want to see if specific vocal features change when a person's pain is well-controlled versus when it is uncontrolled.\n\nParticipants enrolled in this study will receive either 1) standard spinal cord stimulation or 2) spinal cord stimulation plus the intervention--a virtual, multi-session PNE delivered remotely over a secure telehealth platform. Throughout the study, participants will complete standard clinical surveys to measure their physical function, anxiety, pain catastrophizing, and emotional resilience using standardized tools. Participants will also provide short voice recordings, such as holding a sustained \"\u002Fah\u002F\" vowel sound, during their virtual assessments. This allows researchers to safely evaluate the direct relationship between subtle voice patterns and reported clinical pain levels.",[27,28,29,30,31,32],"Chronic Pain","Chronic Pain Due to Injury","Failed Back Syndrome","Persistent Spinal Pain Syndrome","Chronic Leg Pain","Chronic Neck Pain",[34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45],"spinal cord stimulation","neuromodulation","pain neuroscience education","pain science education","telehealth","virtual behavioral health","acoustic biomarker","voice analysis","pain catastrophizing","psychological resilence","anxiety and depression","physical therapy","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2026-07-31",{"date":49,"type":50},"2026-08-04","ACTUAL",{"date":52,"type":21},"2026-07-27",{"date":54,"type":21},"2028-06-30",{"name":56,"class":57},"University of Arkansas","OTHER",{"id":59,"slug":60,"hasResults":11,"nctId":61,"briefTitle":62,"officialTitle":62,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":63,"healthyVolunteers":11,"sex":17,"minAge":64,"maxAge":4,"enrollmentInfo":65,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":22,"phases":67,"briefSummary":69,"conditions":70,"keywords":71,"overallStatus":74,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":75,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":76,"startDateStruct":78,"completionDateStruct":80,"leadSponsor":82,"locationsCount":84},"100599948","phase-4-patient-preference-and-long-term-outcomes-in-persistent-spinal-pain-syndrome-a-prospective-study-comparing-spinal-cord-stimulation-to-intrathecal-drug-delivery-100599948","NCT07091123","Patient Preference and Long-term Outcomes in Persistent Spinal Pain Syndrome: A Prospective Study Comparing Spinal Cord Stimulation to Intrathecal Drug Delivery.","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Age 30 years or greater\n* Previous lumbar or thoracic spine surgery\n* Intractable pain of trunk (more than limbs; ≥ 75%\u002F25% ratio back\u002Fleg pain)\n* Patient who passed psychological evaluations as part of the usual clinical care prior to consideration of IDDS and are stable with current pain condition and medications\n* Failed more conservative management, including physical therapy, medications and injections.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Untreated infection or coagulopathy\u002Fpatient unable to stop anticoagulants\n* Immune compromised state precluding having an implant\n* Allergic reactions to bupivacaine or fentanyl\n* Pregnancy.\n* Patients using \\> 15 mg oral equivalents of morphine daily or who are unable to wean down below that dosage for 4 weeks or more before the prognostic test date\n* Neurological deficits characterized as weakness in lower extremities with evidence of nerve damage resulting in difficulty ambulating\n* Patients deemed by Spine Surgery to be candidates for revision lumbar spine surgery","30 Years",{"count":66,"type":21},36,[68],"PHASE4","Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) or intrathecal drug delivery (pain pump) can be effective in providing pain relief for patients with low back pain who have not responded to other treatments. While both treatments, SCS and pain pump, may help with low back pain relief, it is not known which treatment may work better for patients. SCS and pain pumps involve an implanted device in the body.\n\nIn this study, we are asking patients to undergo a trial of both treatment modalities, SCS and pain pump, as screening tests prior to considering an implant. A total of 36 patients will be enrolled in this study. After both trials are completed, participants will be seen in the office and asked which treatment modality they believe has been more effective for relieving pain during the trial periods by completing questionnaires. If neither treatment was effective in improving baseline pain by at least 50%, participants would not qualify for either implant whether or not they are part of this study. Direct study participation would end here. If either or both treatment modalities improved baseline pain by at least 50%, participants will be asked to choose the treatment that worked better: SCS or pain pump. Participants will then have the option to proceed to the permanent implant of choice: SCS or pain pump. Direct study participation would end here but participants will then be followed in the doctor's office after implant as is customary for usual clinical care.
