This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial compares two types of electrical spinal cord stimulation for people with painful diabetic neuropathy—a common condition where diabetes damages nerves and causes pain in the feet and legs. Researchers are testing whether a newer, high-frequency version of this treatment works better than the traditional version. Both treatments use a small device implanted near your spine to send electrical signals that help reduce pain.
Diabetic nerve pain is very common and difficult to treat with current medications and therapies. While traditional electrical spinal cord stimulation has shown promise, the newer high-frequency approach may work better and without causing the tingling sensations that the older treatment relies on. This trial will help doctors understand which approach is most effective.

You likely don't qualify if…
If you qualify, you would be randomly assigned to receive either traditional or high-frequency electrical spinal cord stimulation. This involves a surgical procedure to implant a small device near your spine. The device is controlled remotely to adjust the electrical stimulation settings. You would visit the clinic multiple times so researchers can monitor your pain levels and how well the treatment is working for you.
