Register for patients with chronic pain considering neuromodulatory therapies

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study involves creating a dynamic register for patients in Belgium suffering from chronic pain syndromes, specifically persistent spinal pain syndromes and complex regional pain syndromes. Patients will be monitored as they undergo a multidisciplinary evaluation and consider treatment options involving invasive neuromodulation techniques, such as spinal cord stimulation. The register will track the screening process, trial therapy, and long-term follow-up to assess outcomes and improve patient care.
