Brain stimulation for nerve pain and depression
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have nerve pain (like from a nerve injury or condition) that has lasted more than 6 months
- Your pain is at least a 4 out of 10 and happens almost every day
- Standard pain medicines haven't given you enough relief
- You have been diagnosed with depression
- You have not changed your pain medicines for at least a month and can keep them stable during the study

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 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.
This trial tests if repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a non-invasive brain stimulation, can help teenagers with depression who have lost interest or pleasure in things they used to enjoy.
This trial studies a brain-stimulation treatment to improve depression symptoms in people who have depression after a spinal cord injury. It may help if you have major depression and meet specific safety and eligibility checks.
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 trial tests if repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a non-invasive brain stimulation, can reduce chronic nerve pain caused by cancer or its treatment. It may help patients who have not found relief from standard pain medications.
