Quantitative Assessment of Painful Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy after High Frequency Spinal Cord Stimulation: (QUANT) HF10 Study Seeking volunteers with Type 2 Diabetes and painful peripheral neuropathy
Principal Investigator: Dr. Narayan Kissoon
IRB #17-004317
The Mayo Clinic pain clinic in Rochester, MN is seeking volunteers with type 2 diabetes and painful lower extremity peripheral neuropathy. We are conducting research on the use of a spinal cord stimulator and whether it can improve nerve function. Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is already FDA approved for treatment of intractable neuropathic (nerve) pain related to diabetic peripheral neuropathy. A screening visit which would take about 1 hour is required to make sure you are eligible.
If you are eligible, it will take about 1 year to complete this research study. During this time, we will ask you to make 3 study visits to Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN (1 initial visit, 1 visit at 6 months, and 1 visit at 12 months). In between the on-site visits you will be contacted via telephone to review your progress. Remuneration is offered after completion of the study at 6 months and again at 12 months.
For more information, please contact the study coordinator at 507-422-0582 or Stoltenberg.Anita@mayo.edu

I don't know if this would be right for me I have type 2 diabetes neuropathy in my feet a lower back pain from degenerative disc leg pain nerve pain in my legs and also it seems to be progressing upward in my saddle area and I don't know if this would help or not but you can maybe get in touch with me and I could possibly get some help from this I don't know I take 1800 mg of Gabapentin a day and another 300 has been added at night but when I take it it seems like to be too much I also have some shortness of breath in the morning especially after I get up to go to the bathroom this morning it even seemed like my heart was a little bit numb along with my hands
Good morning God Bless everyone here and everywhere struggling with all sorts of chronic pain my heart goes out to them. We are very blessed in this country to have access to some sort of healthcare. Whereas third world countries have NONE.
My question
are there ever any studies on peripheral nerve damage from spinal cord damage?
A doctor put a screw in too far on back fusion procedure and left me left leg paralyzed with and to boot
peripheral neuropathy both legs.
I learned to walk with a hitch. I just had my 4th stimulator implanted Medtronic
3 weeks ago. Praying it works. But neuropathy still lingering its ugly head.
