Brain stimulation plus mirror therapy for nerve pain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment (repeated TMS) combined with mirror therapy can reduce nerve pain. It may help people whose nerve pain has lasted for months and hasn’t improved enough with usual medicines.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your pain is a nerve-type pain (neuropathic pain symptoms).
- Your nerve pain has not responded well to usual pain medicines.
- Your pain has lasted at least 6 months and is moderate to severe (4/10 or higher).
- Your pain treatment has stayed the same for at least the last month.
- You can receive trial care through your health coverage.
- You do NOT have certain implanted devices or other MRI scan issues.

This trial tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation technique (rTMS) can help people with long-term nerve pain who also have depression. It aims to see if this treatment can reduce pain and improve mood.
This trial tests whether painless magnetic stimulation of the brain (non-surgical) can reduce long-lasting nerve pain after spinal cord injury. It may help people whose spinal cord injury-related pain has been present for at least six months.
This trial tests whether transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a non-invasive brain stimulation, can help relieve nerve pain in people with spinal cord injury. It is for those who have had chronic nerve pain for at least 6 months that hasn't improved with standard treatments.
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 study tests whether a magnetic treatment called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can help reduce nerve pain that some people have after a spinal cord injury. rTMS uses painless magnetic pulses to gently stimulate the brain, and it may help change how your brain processes pain.
This study tests a type of brain stimulation called Temporal Interference Stimulation (TIS) to see if it can help reduce nerve pain. It may be an option if you have had nerve pain for at least a month and it is moderate or worse.
