ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a treatment called MED HF10™ Spinal Cord Stimulation to help people with chronic back and leg pain that doesn't respond to other treatments. The researchers want to see how effective this therapy is for patients who already have a Nevro SCS device implanted. They will measure how many participants find relief from their pain using the lowest preferred settings of the device.

To participate in the trial, individuals must be at least 18 years old and have had chronic back pain (with or without leg pain) for a long time. They should also have been using their Nevro device consistently for at least three months and be on stable pain medications. Participants will need to commit to following study guidelines and attend visits. It’s important to note that certain conditions, like active infections or severe psychological issues, may prevent someone from joining the study. Overall, this trial could offer a new way to manage pain for those who have struggled to find relief.
