A Prospective, Open Label, Pilot Study of Patient OutcoMes Following Successful TriAl of High Frequency SpInal CorD Stimulation at 10kHz (HF10™) Leading to Permanent Implant Compared to Trial Failure and Standard CarE for the TreatmeNt of Persistent Low BACK Pain of Neuropathic Origin
A study testing Senza Spinal Cord Stimulation system in people with Palliative Care, run by The Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust at 1 site in United Kingdom.
Trial summary
25 participants with back pain and no previous spinal surgery will be enrolled from a single NHS site in England. Participants will have already discussed spinal cord stimulation (SCS) pain management with their consultant before being invited to participate. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Rospective, Open Label, Pilot Study of Patient OutcoMes Following Successful TriAl of High Frequency SpInal CorD Stimulation at 10kHz (HF10™) Leading to Permanent Implant Compared to Trial Failure and Standard CarE for the TreatmeNt of Persistent Low BACK Pain of Neuropathic Origin
25 participants with back pain and no previous spinal surgery will be enrolled from a single NHS site in England.
Participants will have already discussed spinal cord stimulation (SCS) pain management with their consultant before being invited to participate. Participants will attend for 10 visits over a period of 66 months. At visit one, study suitability screening and informed consent will be conducted. Suitable participants will be booked to have SCS trial leads implanted and an external programmable High Frequency battery trial box as a day case (Visit 2). Participants will be contacted over the next 21 days to assess how the trial is progressing and to book a follow up appointment in clinic to remove the trial leads (Visit 3) where a treatment decision will be made. If a participant is determined as having had a successful trial they will be listed and implanted with a full HF10 SCS implant (Visit 4). The participants who proceed to a full HF10 SCS implant will be reviewed in the Clinic at 6, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60 months post procedure. Their participation in this study will be no longer than 66 months. A successful trial is defined as a reduction in pain by 30% on a Visual Analogue Scale. Participants who do not obtain 30% reduction in 21 days is classed as a failed trial and once the leads are removed will be reviewed in clinic by the investigator for an alternative treatment plan (Visit 4). If a participant is determined a failed trial of HF10, they will remain in the study with their consent for the full follow up schedule. The follow-up for the failed trial cohort can be conducted via telephone to reduce the burden on this trial group.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
50% reduction in patient reported Visual analogue scale for pain (time frame: 12 months compared to baseline). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Jan 2019.
