Deep rTMS for Nerve Pain or Fibromyalgia
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study is testing a special type of brain stimulation (deep rTMS) for people with long-term nerve pain or fibromyalgia. The goal is to see if it can help reduce pain that hasn't gotten better with usual treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had daily or nearly daily pain for at least 6 months, rating it as 4 or higher on a 0-to-10 scale.
- Your pain is either nerve pain (neuropathic) or you have a confirmed diagnosis of fibromyalgia.
- Your pain medicines have been the same for at least the past month.
- You can read, understand, and speak French.
- You do not have any medical reason that stops you from getting rTMS (like metal in your head, a seizure disorder, or certain other conditions).
- You have not had rTMS treatment before, and you do not have psychosis or an active drug abuse problem.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment (rTMS) can reduce chronic pain in fibromyalgia patients. The treatment uses magnetic pulses to stimulate specific areas of the brain and may help relieve widespread pain.
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.
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 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 study tests a type of non-invasive brain stimulation called Intermittent Theta Burst Stimulation (iTBS) to see if it can help reduce pain and improve daily function in people with fibromyalgia. It may offer a new option for managing your pain without medication changes.
