About this study
Researchers are testing whether epidural spinal cord stimulation can lower blood pressure in people with chronic back pain and high blood pressure. The trial also looks at if higher starting blood pressure predicts less pain after the treatment, and how different SCS waveforms affect electrical signals in the spinal cord and brain.
Based on ClinicalTrials.gov records.
