About this study

Official title: Effects of Novel SCS Paddle on Intraoperative Neuromonitoring Recording

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate safety and efficacy of a new spinal cord stimulation paddle electrode which is able to target the dorsal horns, dorsal nerve roots, and dorsal columns. The research electrode ("Study Electrode") is designed to answer basic physiological clinical research questions. It may inform future device therapy development, but the Study Electrode is not a product that will be marketed or sold. The Investigators believe the protocol is a Non-Significant Risk study answering basic physiological research questions, which may be performed under hospital IRB approval.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • HD Study ElectrodeDevice

    The HD Study Electrode is an array of 8 columns of stimulation contacts arranged in 8 rows with a low-volume electrode body. This array of stimulation electrodes contact patterns of bi-poles and tri-poles may be applied to the spinal cord for assessment of dermatomal selective stimulation patterns.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Numeric Rating Scale (NRS)

    Patients rate their pain on a scale from 0-10; 0 being not in pain and 10 being worst pain imaginable. A higher score indicates worse outcome.

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. McGill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ)

    Patients select words that describe their pain. There are a total of 15 words. A higher score (more words selected) indicates worse outcome with a range from 0-15.

    Measured: 3 month

  2. Oswestry Disability Index (ODI)

    This is a multiple choice style scale where patients are presented with an activity and asked to select a description which best matches their ability to perform that activity. Multiple choice options are then scored on a scale from 0-5; where 0 is no issues performing the activity and 5 is cannot perform activity. A higher score indicates worse outcome. The range in scores is from 0-100.

    Measured: 3 months

  3. Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS)

    Patients are presented with a series of statements and they are asked to rate on a scale from 0-4, how often these statements apply to them when they are in pain. 0= never and 4= always. A higher score indicates worse outcome. Scores range from 0-52.

    Measured: 3 months

  4. Beck Depression Index (BDI)

    This is a multiple choice style scale where patients are asked to select a statement related to a feeling of sadness or a component of depression. Multiple choice options are then scored on a scale from 0-3; where 0 is they do not feel that way and 3 is they do feel that way. A higher score indicates worse outcome. Scores range from 0-63

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing HD Study Electrode in people with Chronic Pain and Neuropathic Pain, run by Albany Medical College at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Mar 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 12 Jan 2023). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) (time frame: 3 months). 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 1 Mar 2023.
