Brain stimulation therapy for nerve pain after spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have spinal cord injury with nerve pain that started at least 6 months ago
- You can follow two-step verbal instructions

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 high-intensity magnetic pulses applied to the injured area can reduce pain and improve muscle strength after a traumatic peripheral nerve injury. It is for people who still have pain and weakness at least 3 months after the injury.
This trial tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain, can improve movement and function in people with chronic spinal cord injury. It may help if you have some movement left below your injury level.
This study tests whether a personalized brain stimulation treatment (using a non-invasive technique called tDCS) can help reduce nerve pain in people with spinal cord injury. The researchers will also use EEG (a cap that records brain activity) to see how your brain responds.
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.
