Medullary Stimulation for the Treatment of Refractory Neck Pain (S2M)

Not Applicable
Recruiting
Conditions
Pain, Intractable
Interventions
Device: Implantation of the WAVEWRITER ALPHA ™ device
Registration Number
NCT05398003
Lead Sponsor
Nantes University Hospital
Brief Summary

Number of centres planned : 1 (CHU Nantes)

Design : Randomized, Prospective

Planning of the study :

* Total duration: 34 months

* Recruitment period: 24 months.

* Follow-up time per patients : 7-10 months

Expected number of cases : 12

Treatment, procedure, combination of procedures under consideration :

During the study, patients will be implanted with the WAVEWRITER ALPHA™ system with the objective of decreasing patient pain with a spinal cord stimulation mode.

There will be a random draw on the order of the stimulation program:

* the tonic stimulation "LF": In tonic mode, the electrical stimulation of the sensory fibers of the posterior cords of the spinal cord induces local paresthesias

* burst stimulation (or "burst")

* high frequency" stimulation (1000 Hz) "High frequency: HF".

* combined tonic + burst stimulation

* combined tonic + high frequency stimulation

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Evaluating the non-inferiority of pain reduction with the combined mode compared to the low frequency reference mode.6 Months

Comparison of the average of the visual analogic scale (scale from 0 to 10 ; 10 being the worst outcome)score collected during the 7 days of stimulation by the Tonic+Burst mode to the average of the visual analogic scale score collected during the 7 days in tonic stimulation

Evaluating the overall satisfaction with the stimulation mode6 Months

Daily collection of the patient's evaluation of his satisfaction on the remote control - the patient's logbook by a number of stars: 1\* (one star) not satisfied and 5\* (five stars) very satisfied

Evaluating the superioty of pain reduction with the combined mode compared to the low frequency reference mode.6 Months

Comparison of the average visual analogic scale (scale from 0 to 10 ; 10 being the worst outcome) score of the 7 days of the Tonic+Burst mode compared to the average visual analogic scale scores collected in Tonic stimulation alone.
