Brain stimulation to treat complex regional pain syndrome
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial studies whether noninvasive brain stimulation (TMS) can reduce pain in people with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). It may help if your CRPS has lasted at least a few months and you can safely undergo the stimulation and study tasks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with CRPS for at least 3 months.
- Your average pain score on a 0–10 scale is within the study’s required range.
- You can take part in the study procedures and tasks.
- You do not have metal or devices that make MRI or TMS unsafe for you.
- You are not pregnant (and are not planning pregnancy) during the study.

This study tests whether personalized magnetic brain stimulation can reduce pain in Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). It aims to help people with CRPS type 1 in an arm or leg.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique to help people with chronic pain, specifically Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), manage pain-related avoidance behaviors. It may help reduce pain and improve daily function.
This trial tests if a gentle electric current applied to the scalp (called tDCS) can reduce pain in people with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), a chronic pain condition. It aims to see if this treatment is effective and safe for managing symptoms.
This trial tests if mild magnetic pulses to the brain area controlling movement can safely reduce nerve pain from damaged peripheral nerves.
This trial tests whether a form of brain stimulation (rTMS) can reduce chronic nerve pain that has lasted more than a year and hasn’t improved with standard treatments. It may help people whose usual pain medicines are stable but still not working well.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment, called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), to see if it can help people who have both major depression that hasn't improved with medication and chronic pain from fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome. It aims to reduce both depression and pain symptoms.
