At-home brain stimulation trial for long-lasting nerve pain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a device that delivers mild electrical stimulation to the brain from home to help reduce chronic nerve pain. It focuses on people whose pain has not improved enough despite stable pain medicines.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 18 to 80, with long-lasting nerve pain (for more than 1 year)
- Your pain medicines have been stable for at least 1 month and are not working well
- You have reliable internet at home, and someone can help connect to the at-home system
- You have not had epilepsy, and you do not have metal/implants in or near your head that could interfere with stimulation
- You can commit to consent and follow study rules (including no new pain medicine for at least 1 month)

This trial tests whether adding a gentle brain stimulation technique (called tDCS) to standard rehabilitation in the first weeks after a stroke can help prevent chronic pain. If you have had a recent stroke and are doing rehab, this study might help you recover with less pain.
This trial tests if a gentle, home-use electrical brain stimulation device (tDCS) can help people with long-lasting pain that hasn't responded well to other treatments. If you have had pain for at least 6 months and a previous brain stimulation helped only briefly, this study may offer a new option.
This study uses brain imaging (fMRI) and a mild electrical stimulation (tDCS) to understand and potentially help nerve pain. You may be eligible if you have nerve pain or numbness from peripheral neuropathy or a stroke, and can avoid caffeine/alcohol before visits.
This study tests a combination of virtual reality walking and mild brain stimulation to reduce nerve pain. It may help people with spinal cord injury who experience ongoing neuropathic pain.
This study tests a device implanted in the brain that may reduce long-lasting nerve pain that has not improved with other treatments. It could help people with pain after nerve injury, stroke, or other conditions.
This study tests a non-invasive, personalized brain stimulation technique to reduce nerve pain that has not responded to standard treatments. It may be a good option if you have had nerve pain for over a year and have already tried other pain medications without enough relief.
