Study on the Efficacy of Spinal Cord Stimulation in Patients With Severe Refractory Primary or Secondary RLS

Sponsor: Clinica ARS Medica

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

A Double-Blind Randomized Controlled Crossover Study to compare the short-efficacy of Burst-SCS with Sham Stimulation, in patients with severe to very severe RLS refractory or intolerant to standard available treatments and/or patients in augmentation, with a two-period-alternating treatment design.

Interventions

DEVICE

Spinal cord stimulation (SCS)

Burst SCS, a specific spinal cord stimulation waveform that delivers pulses in clusters separated by brief periods without stimulation, is chosen over other modalities due to its demonstrated ability to modulate both the sensory and affective components of pain and discomfort. Unlike traditional tonic stimulation, Burst SCS delivers stimulation patterns that more closely resemble natural neuronal firing, and may provide effective symptom relief without inducing paresthesia.

DEVICE

Sham stimulation

For the Sham stimulation condition, the amplitude of the spinal cord stimulation will be set to zero.
