This study tests whether a brain-magnetic (TMS) training approach can improve how people learn and control movements. It’s done in healthy adults to understand how mental training affects motor learning.
DijonAges 18–60 - NCT05721261Recruiting
Electrical stimulation to help a newly injured nerve heal
This trial is testing whether temporary electrical stimulation can help regenerate, or regrow, a nerve after an acute (recent) injury. It may be relevant if you have a new peripheral nerve injury, but it likely would not be for people with peripheral neuropathy or certain implanted devices.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18–65 - NCT06741579RecruitingPhase 3
Pain relief study for nerve injury pain
This trial tests how well two types of peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) devices relieve chronic pain caused by a single nerve injury. It looks for people who already have a referral for PNS therapy as part of their usual care and who have gotten at least 50% relief from a diagnostic nerve block.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07482930Recruiting
Nerve stimulation and breathing test study in healthy adults
This study tests if a gentle nerve stimulation device placed on the ear can change how you breathe during a lung function test. It is only for healthy volunteers aged 18–40 who have no heart, lung, nerve, or mental health conditions.
SinopAges 18–40 - NCT06687460Enrolling by invitation
Nerve stimulation after arm nerve injury
This trial tests a mild electrical stimulation to the nerves in your arm to help repair a recently damaged median or ulnar nerve (nerves that control hand movement). It might help your hand function recover better after surgery or injury.
Tainan, TaiwanAges 18 years+ - NCT06004882Recruiting
Nerve stimulation vs. steroid injection for chronic knee pain
This study compares two treatments for long-term knee pain: a nerve stimulation device placed near the knee versus a steroid shot into the joint. The goal is to see which works better for pain relief.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06162403Recruiting
Nerve stimulation for chemo-related leg pain
This study tests whether a small device that sends gentle electrical pulses to nerves in your leg can relieve pain caused by chemotherapy. If you have ongoing nerve pain in your legs from past chemo, this treatment might offer a new way to manage it.
Houston, TexasAges 18–85 - NCT05980767Recruiting
Electrical stimulation for better recovery after cubital tunnel release
This trial tests a short burst of electrical stimulation during surgery to improve nerve healing and hand function after cubital tunnel release. It may help people with ulnar nerve problems at the elbow recover faster.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 18–80 - NCT06290661Recruiting
Nerve stimulation for shingles-related nerve pain
This study tests a treatment called peripheral nerve stimulation (using a small device to send mild electrical pulses) for people with nerve pain after shingles. It's designed for those whose pain is not well managed by usual treatments.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06541041Recruiting
Nerve transfer with electrical stimulation for hand function after spinal injury
This trial tests a surgery that moves nerves (nerve transfers) plus gentle electrical stimulation to help people with spinal cord injury regain hand movement. It may be a good fit if you have a C6 or C7 injury and haven't had hand surgery before.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18–65 - NCT06644807Recruiting
Neuromodulation for phantom limb pain after amputation
This trial tests a new approach to suppress phantom limb pain using neuromodulation methods. It may help people who have had a limb amputated and continue to experience persistent pain.
Moscow, MoscowAges 18–65 - NCT06702904Recruiting
Neuroprosthesis for phantom limb pain relief
This study tests a new type of artificial limb (neuroprosthesis) that sends signals back to your brain to help reduce phantom limb pain and improve your daily life. You may be able to join if you have had an arm or leg amputation at least 6 months ago and have persistent pain.
MoscowAges 18–65 - NCT06772142RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Testing a new device for knee, arm, or shoulder pain
This study tests a new wearable device that uses mild electrical pulses to treat chronic pain in the knee, arm, or shoulder. It is for people whose pain started after surgery or injury and who have not found enough relief with standard treatments.
Panama City, Provincia de PanamáAges 18–80 - NCT06781060Recruiting
Nerve stimulation for sciatic nerve injury in children
This trial tests if electrical nerve stimulation can help children aged 3 to 19 who have nerve damage in the leg caused by an injection. The goal is to improve nerve healing and leg function.
Multan, Punjab ProvinceAges 3–19 - NCT07682090Recruiting
Nerve stimulation for fibromyalgia pain
This study tests a gentle nerve stimulation device worn near your ear to see if it can reduce fibromyalgia pain and improve how your body handles stress. It is a non-invasive treatment option that you receive while continuing your regular medications.
Rome, LazioAges 18–70 - NCT07405021Recruiting
Vagus nerve stimulation for diabetic nerve pain
This trial tests whether using a non-invasive device to stimulate the vagus nerve can reduce nerve pain and improve function in people with diabetic neuropathy. It may be a good option if you have burning or electric-shock-like foot pain despite standard diabetes care.
DamiettaAges 45–60 - NCT07553533Enrolling by invitation
Temporary Nerve Stimulation for Headache Relief
This trial studies a temporary nerve-stimulation device placed near the back of your head to treat chronic headaches. The device sends mild electrical pulses to help reduce headache pain over 60 days, and your doctor has already decided this treatment is right for you as part of your regular care.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT06689345Enrolling by invitation
Brain stimulation study for chronic pain including post-COVID
This study tests if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique can reduce pain in people with chronic pain conditions like fibromyalgia, headaches, or pain that started after COVID-19. It is looking for healthy people and people with ongoing pain to see if the treatment helps.
Sâo Bernardo Do Campo, São PauloAges 18–64 - NCT06838013Recruiting
Electrical stimulation to improve leg movement after stroke
This trial tests a new way to help people with stroke move their legs better by combining electrical stimulation on the back and leg. If you have had a stroke more than 6 months ago and can already walk with or without a cane, this treatment might help strengthen ankle muscles and make walking easier.
Hong KongAges 50–85 - NCT06973590Recruiting
Blood flow restriction and nerve stimulation for stroke recovery
This trial tests whether combining blood flow restriction with mild electrical nerve stimulation can improve ankle and leg movement after a stroke. It may help you if you had a single stroke more than 6 months ago and can walk a short distance on your own.
Hong KongAges 50–80 - NCT06293638Recruiting
Brain changes during deep brain stimulation for essential tremor
This study looks at how deep brain stimulation (DBS) affects brain networks in people with essential tremor (ET). The goal is to understand the brain changes that happen during DBS treatment, which may help improve the therapy.
Cleveland, OhioAges 30–80 - NCT07079865Recruiting
Nerve stimulation for pain after spine fracture
This trial tests a 60-day nerve stimulation treatment to reduce pain and improve mobility after a recent spine fracture caused by osteoporosis. It may help patients who still have significant pain despite over-the-counter pain relievers.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for peripheral nerve stimulation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 59 recruiting peripheral nerve stimulation studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a peripheral nerve stimulation trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a peripheral nerve stimulation trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
