Epidural Spinal Cord Stimulation for Hypertension in Patients With Neuropathic Pain
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 7 Aug 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The purpose of the ESCAPE Study is to determine the extent to which epidural spinal cord stimulation (SCS) reduces arterial blood pressure (BP) in patients which chronic low back pain and hypertension. We also aim to determine the extent to which higher baseline BP (i.e., hypertension) predicts reductions in pain following SCS implant. This is an observational study of patients undergoing an implantation of a SCS device.
