Prospective Evaluation of Effectiveness and Safety of Closed-Loop Spinal Cord Stimulation in Treating Patients With Chronic Pelvic Pain
Stanford University
Start Date
6/1/2025
Completion Date
5/31/2028
Summary
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is an effective treatment for patients with chronic pelvic pain. The investigators will evaluate how safe and effective closed-loop spinal cord stimulation is in treating these patients; closed-loop spinal cord stimulation is a more novel method in delivering spinal cord stimulation that controls energy output of the device based on real-time feedback on how the device is stimulating the spinal cord.
Eligibility Criteria
Age Range: 18 years to No maximum
Inclusion Criteria:
The investigators will include all adult patients (18 or older) with pelvic pain more than 6 months that has not responded to conservative medical management
Exclusion Criteria:
* Major untreated medical comorbidities (uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, severe obesity, uncontrolled cardiopulmonary disease, etc.)
* Secondary causes of pelvic pain that can be treated with appropriate medical or surgical interventions
* Major untreated psychological comorbidities
* Anatomical challeneges to place spinal cord stimulator
* Ongoing legal or disability claims
