Stimulating nerves to treat long-lasting neck and arm pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a nerve-stimulation treatment can reduce chronic neck and upper arm pain when other treatments haven’t worked. It includes adults who can consent and attend follow-up visits, and it checks for safety with pregnancy prevention and a specific early test after implantation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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.
This trial tests if a spinal cord stimulator with a new way of adjusting electrical settings (called independent current control) can better manage chronic pain in the back, trunk, or limbs. The goal is to find more effective sequences to reduce pain and improve daily life.
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 Phase 2 study looks at how spinal cord (or nerve-root) stimulation affects pain signals in the brain and body. You may qualify if you already have a stimulator set to a comfort mode that avoids “tingling” sensations.
This trial tests whether a high-frequency spinal cord stimulator can reduce long-term nerve pain in the arm after a brachial plexus injury. It may help people whose pain has lasted at least 3 months despite standard treatments.
This study tests a new wearable device that uses mild electrical pulses to treat chronic pain in the knee, arm, or shoulder. It is for people whose pain started after surgery or injury and who have not found enough relief with standard treatments.
