Study of electrode location for brain stimulation in chronic pain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at where electrodes are placed in the brain for people who have a device that stimulates the motor cortex to treat chronic nerve pain. The goal is to help improve how these devices are positioned for better pain relief.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have a motor cortex stimulation device implanted to treat long-term nerve pain that hasn't improved with other treatments.
- You have a CT scan that was taken after your device was implanted.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether stimulating two brain networks with implanted electrodes can relieve chronic nerve pain that hasn't responded to other treatments. It is for people with severe pain lasting more than six months.
This trial tests if a gentle, home-use electrical brain stimulation device (tDCS) can help people with long-lasting pain that hasn't responded well to other treatments. If you have had pain for at least 6 months and a previous brain stimulation helped only briefly, this study may offer a new option.
This study uses non-invasive brain monitoring to see how spinal cord stimulation may change brain activity in people with chronic nerve pain. It aims to better understand how treatment affects the brain and pain over time.
This study tests a new type of spinal cord stimulator (a device that sends gentle electrical pulses to your spine to block pain signals) for people with chronic pain in their back, chest, or arms or legs. The goal is to see how well it works in real-life settings.
This study is for people who are planning to get a device implanted that delivers stimulation to the brain or nerves. The trial tests whether different stimulation settings work better, which could improve symptom control for participants.
This trial tests a personalized form of brain stimulation (high-definition tDCS) to treat chronic pain that has not improved with other treatments. If you have had pain for at least 6 months and it is still moderate to severe, this may be an option to explore.
