Good point Ginnie. The reason you can't find any clinical trials or research is because the the companies that manufacture spinal cord stimulators do not recommend them for women who are pregnant. It would be impossible for researchers to obtain research funds to study a use for which the manufacturers list pregnancy as a contraindication. Additionally the FDA approval of the devices was based on the contraindications submitted with the applications.
