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 study tests a device implanted in the brain that may reduce long-lasting nerve pain that has not improved with other treatments. It could help people with pain after nerve injury, stroke, or other conditions.
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 non-invasive brain stimulation technique (using magnetic pulses) to see if it can change how the brain values and processes chronic pain, potentially helping to reduce pain.
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.
This study looks at how brain activity changes in people with long-lasting nerve pain using an MRI scan while you do simple behavioral tasks. It may help researchers understand brain function in chronic neuropathic pain and how it affects day-to-day abilities.
