Electrical skin stimulation for nerve and chronic pain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether painless electrical stimulation through the skin can reduce neuropathic pain or long-lasting pain after surgery. It may help some people by changing how pain signals travel in the nervous system.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have neuropathic pain (pain caused by nerve damage) OR chronic postoperative pain (pain lasting a long time after surgery).
- Your main diagnosis should be the pain condition being studied, not a different neurological disease.
- You do not have any other neurological disease besides your pain diagnosis.
- In the past, you have not had a severe mental health condition that required hospital admission.
- You are able to take part even if your pain is long-lasting or ongoing.

This study tests a noninvasive brain stimulation technique (transcranial electrical stimulation) to see if it can reduce chronic pain in people with conditions like multiple sclerosis or neuromyelitis optica. It aims to offer a new, drug-free option for pain relief without major side effects.
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 whether stimulating the nerve roots in the shoulder area can reduce long-lasting nerve pain in one arm. It may help people whose arm pain has not improved with standard nerve-pain treatments.
This study tests whether a gentle electrical treatment placed on the skin near the spine can reduce chronic low back pain. If you qualify, you’ll try the stimulation and complete several assessments over a day, so the team can measure any pain and function changes.
This study tests whether a combination of mild electrical nerve stimulation (applied to the skin) and virtual-reality training exercises can improve quality of life and physical activity in people with diabetic nerve damage and pain. The goal is to see if this approach helps reduce nerve pain symptoms.
This trial tests a new type of spinal cord stimulation for people with long-term nerve pain that hasn't improved with other treatments. The goal is to see if this special stimulation pattern can reduce pain better than standard care.
