Study on the Efficacy of Non-invasive Spinal Cord Electrical Stimulation in Neuropathic Pain
Sponsor: Nanchang University Affiliated Rehabilitation Hospital
Summary
This study is a randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trial designed to evaluate the impact of non-invasive spinal cord electrical stimulation (tSCS) on the outcome of patients with neuropathic pain.Subjects will be randomized into a test group (treated with tSCS) and a control group (receiving sham stimulation).The intervention period was during the patient's hospitalization, with a follow-up period of 3 months.Patients' pain and quality of life will be assessed at baseline, at the end of the intervention, and during the follow-up period to compare the difference in efficacy between the two groups.

tSCS
The test group received non-invasive spinal cord electrical stimulation therapy during hospitalization. Patients were positioned prone or seated, with the anode placed above the iliac crest on the affected side and the cathode covering the paravertebral region of the lumbosacral enlargement corresponding to the painful dermatome. The stimulation frequency was adjusted to 10,000 Hz, with a treatment frequency of 30 Hz and a pulse width of 1 millisecond. The waveform was square, with each treatment session lasting 20 minutes. Stimulation intensity was set to the patient's tolerable threshold. Sessions were administered twice daily, each lasting 20 minutes.
