Scrambler therapy for pain after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This trial studies whether “scrambler therapy” can reduce ongoing pain in the body areas affected by a past stroke. It may help people who are at least a month past stroke and still have stroke-related pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be an adult (18 or older)
- Have had an ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke confirmed on imaging (MRI/scan)
- Have pain in the body area(s) affected by your stroke
- Be at least 1 month after your stroke
- Not have a TIA (a “mini-stroke”) instead of a full stroke
- Have no implanted devices like a pacemaker, defibrillator, or spinal cord stimulator

This trial tests whether a special kind of brain scan (called tAN-fMRI) can help understand and treat pain that happens after a stroke. You may qualify if you had a stroke at least 6 months ago and are between 18 and 80 years old.
This study tests a non-invasive pain treatment called scrambler therapy for people with chronic pancreatitis. It uses mild electrical signals on the skin to try to reduce long-term belly pain.
This trial tests “scrambler therapy,” a type of skin-based nerve stimulation, to reduce ongoing pain from corticobasal syndrome. You may be eligible if your average pain is moderate to severe and you can safely take part in the treatment schedule.
This study tests whether adding a non-invasive device called Scrambler Therapy to the usual nerve pain medicine (duloxetine) can better relieve chemotherapy-induced nerve pain. It is for people with cancer who still have significant nerve pain despite taking duloxetine.
This study tests a device that uses mild electrical pulses to reduce nerve pain in children with cancer. It may offer a drug-free way to manage pain.
This study tests a treatment for shoulder stiffness and pain caused by muscle tightness after a stroke. It focuses on people who still have some limited shoulder movement and may help improve range of motion and comfort.
