Brain stimulation trial for nerve pain relief
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This trial studies whether repeated magnetic stimulation of the brain can reduce ongoing nerve pain. It may help people whose nerve pain has been steady for at least a month and who still need pain medicine more than once a week.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage in the arms or legs)
- Your nerve pain has stayed about the same for at least 1 month
- You need pain medicine more than once each week to manage the pain
- Your pain is fairly intense, with a score of at least 30 out of 100 on a pain scale
- You are not pregnant and are not likely to become pregnant during the study
- You do not have epilepsy, brain/metal implantation risk, or brain electrodes placed

This study tests whether a non-invasive magnetic stimulation treatment can help veterans with long-term nerve pain after an injury or surgery. It may offer a drug-free option to reduce pain and improve quality of life.
This trial tests if mild magnetic pulses to the brain area controlling movement can safely reduce nerve pain from damaged peripheral nerves.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can help reduce nerve pain. It uses brain scans and electrical tests to understand how TMS works, which may lead to better pain treatments.
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 two types of magnetic brain stimulation (aiTBS and rTMS) to treat long-lasting nerve pain. Researchers want to see which approach works better and develop a way to predict who will benefit most.
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.
