Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Electrical stimulation therapy for pain reduction was performed already 2000 years ago. In recent years many studies had proved the effectiveness of electrical stimulation in pain management, tissue healing and muscle strengthening. Today there are devices with many types of currents. Each current comes with different statements for its effectiveness and its penetration depth yet there is no consensus on the most effective current in the dimension of penetration depth.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study shall be recruited patients who underwent implantation of electrodes in the spine (Spinal Cord Stimulation- SCS). The electrode will serve as a voltage reader deep in the tissue. The voltage is generated from electrodes applied on the skin and delivers therapeutic currents to the patients back. The study will be tested 4 different types of currents and number of electrode placement.

Spinal Cord Stimulation

Patients who underwent implantation of electrodes spine for treatment in chronic pain.

'Transcutaneous Electric Nerve Stimulation' and "Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation" (one after another)

Transcutaneous Electric Nerve Stimulation

Intervention Type DEVICE

Electric currents: 'Transcutaneous Electric Nerve Stimulation' and Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation will be applied on the back of the patients in parallel to the implanted electrodes. Implanted electrode will measure voltages that generated near the spinal cord tissue.
