About this trial

This is an interventional basic science trial for Failed Back Surgery Syndrome focused on measuring Spinal cord stimulation, Electrodermal activity

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Subject is at least 18 years old.
  • Diagnosis of FBSS (Failed conservative treatments for pain including but not limited to pharmacological therapy and physical therapy) and currently being treated with spinal cord stimulation.
  • Cognitive and language functioning enabling coherent communication between the examiner and the participant.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with impaired skin integrity at the fingers.
  • Patients with major psychiatric problems.

Sites / Locations

  • Universitair Ziekenhuis Brussel
  • Clinique Ste Elisabeth

Arm Description

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Skin conductance changes
The investigators will examine the difference in skin conductance between both measurements (SCS on versus SCS off)
Respiration rate
The investigators will examine the difference in respiration rate between both measurements (SCS on versus SCS off)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Pain intensity scores using the Visual Analogue Scale
Pain intensity score on that time on a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) ranging from zero (no pain) towards 10 (worst possible pain) for the pain intensity.
