A clinical trial for individuals experiencing significant pain due to Chronic Focal Neuropathic Pain

Neuroscience Research Center is conducting a research study on chronic focal neuropathic pain using the Evoke® SmartSCSTM Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) system.

Evoke® SmartSCSTM is a new FDA-approved medical device that can potentially treat your chronic pain condition.
The Evoke® SmartSCSTM system constantly listens to your body’s needs and automatically adjusts therapy 4+ million times per day.

What is this study about?

This study is evaluating the LINQ Posterior Sacroiliac (SI) Joint Fusion System, a minimally invastive procedure designed to treat chronic SI joint pain. Researchers are comparing the procedure with conservative medical management to evaluate its safety and effectiveness in reducing pain and improving daily function.

Physical examination and medical history review
Baseline assessments of pain, function, and quality of life
Randomization to either the LINQ procedure or conservative medical management
