Brief Summary

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

The primary purpose of this study is to determine the differences in response to treatment of complex regional pain syndrome with a closed-loop spinal cord stimulator if applied in the early phases (acute or subacute) versus the chronic phase.

Detailed Description

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

After being informed about the study and the potential risks, all patients given written informed consent will be organized into group 1 (acute or subacute) and group 2 (chronic). They will undergo a trial period with a temporary spinal cord stimulator for 7 days. After the trial period, if the provider determines the device improved the patient's pain and function, the permanent device will be implanted. The patient will fill out an outcomes packet at baseline, end of trial period, 3 months and 6 months. There will also be a blood draw to evaluate prolactin levels, which are associated with stress and pain, at baseline, end of trial period, and 3 months.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Acute and Subacute Phases of CRPS

Participants diagnosed with acute and subacute phases of CRPS will be assigned to this group.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Spinal Cord Stimulation Device

Intervention Type DEVICE

The closed-loop spinal cord stimulation mechanism uses dynamic adjusting stimulation parameters based on real-time physiologic response and is uniquely positioned to mitigate the aberrant inflammatory and neurosensory processing and autonomic dysfunction driving CRPS and its progression between phases.

Chronic Phase of CRPS

Participants diagnosed with chronic CRPS will be assigned to this group.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Spinal Cord Stimulation Device

Intervention Type DEVICE

The closed-loop spinal cord stimulation mechanism uses dynamic adjusting stimulation parameters based on real-time physiologic response and is uniquely positioned to mitigate the aberrant inflammatory and neurosensory processing and autonomic dysfunction driving CRPS and its progression between phases.
