Summary
This single-center, assessor-blinded randomized controlled trial enrolls 88 patients with drug-refractory diabetic foot neuropathic pain unsuitable for revascularization surgery. Participants are randomized 1:1 to receive standard diabetic foot care alone (control) or standard care plus 14-day short-term spinal cord stimulation (intervention). The primary outcome is pain remission rate at 6 months, with repeated assessments of microcirculation, nerve function, quality of life and adverse events over 6 months. This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of short-term spinal cord stimulation and develops standardized clinical protocols for this minimally invasive therapy.
