Brain wave study for spinal cord injury with chronic pain
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study uses EEG (a non-invasive brain wave recording) to understand how chronic pain affects the brain in people with spinal cord injury. It may help doctors tailor pain treatments in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have a spinal cord injury and chronic pain (or no pain, for the comparison group).
- You are scheduled to have a spinal cord electrical stimulator implanted under general anesthesia.
- You are right-handed.
- You do not have a bleeding disorder, severe organ problems, or a BMI over 35.
- You have not had a bad reaction to esketamine, opioids, or NSAIDs in the past.

Similar studies
Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new device to measure oxygen levels in the brain of people with chronic pain who are receiving spinal cord stimulation. It aims to see if brain oxygen changes can help manage pain better.
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 trial studies whether changing the “stimulation pattern” of spinal cord stimulation can reduce long-lasting pain and improve daily function. You might be a good candidate if you have chronic trunk or leg pain and have already tried multiple pain treatments without enough relief.
This Phase 2 study looks at how spinal cord (or nerve-root) stimulation affects pain signals in the brain and body. You may qualify if you already have a stimulator set to a comfort mode that avoids “tingling” sensations.
This trial uses a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS to see if it can reduce chronic pain in people with certain pain conditions. You would self-administer the treatment and report your results.
This study tests whether recording brain activity during deep brain stimulation (DBS) for chronic pain can help improve future treatments. It is for people with long-lasting, severe pain that hasn't been helped by other treatments.
