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)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether early brain stimulation (tDCS) combined with rehab can help prevent pain after a stroke. It's for people who have had a stroke within the last 7 to 45 days in specific brain areas and have some movement or sensation problems.
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 trial tests whether a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS (transcranial direct current stimulation) can help relieve long-term nerve pain. It may be an option if you have had nerve pain for at least 3 months and are not helped enough by your current medicines.
This trial tests whether stimulating two brain networks with implanted electrodes can relieve chronic nerve pain that hasn't responded to other treatments. It is for people with severe pain lasting more than six months.
This trial tests if a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS can help military personnel (active or veteran) who have chronic nerve pain and poor sleep. The goal is to see if it can reduce pain and improve sleep quality.
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.
