Svår kronisk neuropatisk smärta: En behandlingspaket, med ryggmärgsstimulering och multidisciplinär behandling, för att minska smärta och förbättra fysisk funktion. (SCS-R)

4 maj 2026 uppdaterad av: Lars-Petter Granan, Oslo University Hospital

Optimering av behandling för kronisk neuropatisk smärta: En replikerad experimentell enfallsdesign som utvärderar ett behandlingspaket bestående av multidisciplinär rehabilitering och ryggmärgsstimulering (SCS-R)

Personer med nervskador kan utveckla nervsmärta. Smärtan kan ibland vara svår och oförutsägbar, vilket orsakar konstiga eller oroande känslor - till exempel blixtliknande eller elektriska stötkänslor i området som betjänas av den skadade nerven.

Vi kommer att undersöka en behandling för nervsmärta i benen orsakad av nervskador, vilket kan uppstå efter en diskbråck eller ett benbrott, med eller utan operation.

Tidigare forskning tyder på att ryggmärgsstimulering kan lindra nervsmärta i benen efter operation eller skada, men dess effektivitet är fortfarande omdebatterad. Andra studier visar att multidisciplinär behandling hjälper personer med långvarig smärta att förbättra sin livskvalitet och att bättre klara sig i livet. Nationella och internationella riktlinjer rekommenderar denna typ av multidisciplinär vård för långvarig smärta.

Ingen har ännu publicerat forskning om ryggmärgsstimulering kombinerat med multidisciplinär behandling som ett paketerat ingrepp. Vi vill därför ta reda på om detta kombinerade tillvägagångssätt kan minska nervsmärta i benen och förbättra den fysiska funktionen.

Studieöversikt

Detaljerad beskrivning

Single-case experimental design (SCED) with repeated measurements structured into phases is the method of this study.

Phase A1 is the pre-implantation baseline, Phase A2 is waiting time from implantation to start of the intervention (SCS+rehabilitation). Length of A2 is randomized (2-4 weeks).

Phase B is the active SCS+rehabilitation intervention and lasts for 12 weeks (for analysis split into an early B1 (week 1-5) and a later B2 period (week 8-12), and FU is the 5 week follow-up approximately 6 months after implantation.

Outcomes are measured repeatedly within these phases, allowing within-patient phase contrasts.

In general, baseline (A1) is compared with the intervention periods (B1 and B2) and with follow-up (FU). The main pre-specified contrasts for the primary outcomes are:

  1. For leg pain intensity A1 vs B1 is the primary comparison and A1 vs B2 is secondary, with A1 vs FU and B2 vs FU reported descriptively.
  2. For physical function (PROMIS-29), A1 vs B2 is the primary comparison as onset of rehabilitation effect is expected to be delayed. A1 vs B1 is exploratory, with A1 vs FU and B2 vs FU reported descriptively.

Other repeated-measures outcomes (PROMIS-29 domains and additional NRS/physical activity measures) follow the same structure, with A1 vs B2 generally defined as secondary and A1 vs FU descriptive as shown in the statistical tables

JA

IPD-planbeskrivning

Individuella deltagardata för alla insamlade variabler, genererade under studien och fullständigt dokumenterade i ett tillhörande datalexikon (som specificerar variabelnamn, koder, värden, enheter och härledningar), kommer att göras tillgängliga vid rimlig begäran från kvalificerade forskare efter publicering. Tillgången kommer att begränsas till kvalificerade forskare som lämnar in en ansökan och får godkännande från relevant etikprövningsnämnd och dataskyddsmyndighet.

Direkta och indirekta identifierare – inklusive namn, exakta datum och andra reidentifieringsrisker – kommer att systematiskt tas bort eller omvandlas (t.ex. genom indexjustering av datum för att bevara intervall samtidigt som länkning förhindras), vilket säkerställer att datasetet stödjer robusta sekundäranalyser samtidigt som deltagarnas integritet upprätthålls.

Studieprotokollet planeras att publiceras.
