ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is investigating the effects of spinal cord stimulation (SCS) combined with specific exercise routines on patients suffering from Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS), which is a condition that leads to chronic back pain even after surgery. The goal is to see if this combined approach can help reduce pain, improve quality of life, and enhance daily functioning for those experiencing persistent spinal pain. Participants will engage in 16 exercise sessions over eight weeks, focusing on strengthening their core and stabilizing their spine.

To be eligible for the trial, participants must be at least 18 years old, have been experiencing back and leg pain for six months or longer, and rate their pain as higher than a 7 on a scale of 0 to 10. They should also be native Spanish speakers. However, individuals with certain medical conditions, previous abdominal surgeries, or severe fractures cannot participate. This study is currently recruiting, and it has received ethical approval to ensure the safety and well-being of all participants.
