This trial is observing how well spinal cord stimulation — a device implanted near the spine that sends electrical pulses to reduce pain signals — works for people suffering from nerve pain caused by chemotherapy. Researchers at Mayo Clinic want to understand whether this treatment truly reduces pain and improves daily life for cancer survivors dealing with this specific side effect.
Nerve pain from chemotherapy can be severe and difficult to treat with medications alone. This study exists to see whether spinal cord stimulation offers real relief for patients who haven't found adequate pain control through other treatments.

If you join this study, you will already have received the spinal cord stimulation device (this is an observational study tracking people who have already chosen this treatment). You'll complete questionnaires about your pain, quality of life, sleep, and overall well-being at baseline and then again at 3, 6, and 12 months. Each questionnaire session takes about 30 minutes. Researchers will be watching how well the device continues to work for you over that year.
