Brain stimulation for chemotherapy nerve pain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment to see if it can reduce nerve pain caused by chemotherapy. It also looks at how the treatment affects the brain and immune system.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have nerve pain caused by chemotherapy
- You finished cancer surgery or chemotherapy at least 3 months ago
- Your medications have been stable for the past 4 weeks
- You are Non-Hispanic White or Non-Hispanic Black

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a gentle brain stimulation technique called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to see if it can reduce nerve pain, numbness, or tingling caused by chemotherapy. If you've finished cancer treatment but still have these symptoms, this may help improve your quality of life.
This trial tests whether a spinal cord stimulator, a small device that sends gentle electrical signals to block pain, can relieve nerve pain caused by chemotherapy. If you have ongoing numbness or burning in your hands or feet after treatment, this study might help you feel better and improve your quality of life.
This study tests whether a small device that sends gentle electrical pulses to nerves in your leg can relieve pain caused by chemotherapy. If you have ongoing nerve pain in your legs from past chemo, this treatment might offer a new way to manage it.
This trial tests whether spinal cord stimulation can reduce pain and improve quality of life in people with long-lasting nerve pain from chemotherapy (CIPN). You must already have tried at least two nerve-pain medicines and still have significant pain, and you must have had a successful spinal cord stimulator test before joining.
This trial studies whether a skin-applied, acupuncture-like electrical treatment can reduce ongoing nerve pain (chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy) after breast cancer chemotherapy. It may help if your nerve symptoms have not improved after finishing chemo.
This study tests whether remote check-ins (via phone/app/website) can help manage chemotherapy-related nerve pain in the hands and feet. It enrolls adults who developed nerve symptoms after certain cancer medicines and need ongoing monitoring.
