Nerve-stimulation treatment for painful corticobasal syndrome
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re age 50 or older and have corticobasal syndrome (CBS)
- Your average daily pain is more than 4 out of 10 over the past week
- You can speak and understand English well enough for the study
- Your doctor expects you to live more than 90 days
- You can understand the study plan and sign informed consent
- You do not have key safety issues like certain implants, recent heart problems, or epilepsy

This trial studies whether changing the “stimulation pattern” of spinal cord stimulation can reduce long-lasting pain and improve daily function. You might be a good candidate if you have chronic trunk or leg pain and have already tried multiple pain treatments without enough relief.
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 non-invasive, personalized brain stimulation technique to reduce nerve pain that has not responded to standard treatments. It may be a good option if you have had nerve pain for over a year and have already tried other pain medications without enough relief.
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 study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique to help people with chronic pain, specifically Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), manage pain-related avoidance behaviors. It may help reduce pain and improve daily function.
This study tests whether a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp can help relieve nerve pain that continues after an injury to the spinal cord, arm or leg amputation, or brain injury. Participants will continue their usual pain medications during the trial.
