Brain training for pain after trauma
Part of Mental health, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a brain-training technique called EEG-neurofeedback to help people with ongoing pain after a traumatic event. It aims to retrain overactive brain networks to reduce pain and distress.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have completed treatment at a pain clinic called Smertecenter Syd.
- Your pain is still more than 4 on a 0–10 scale (0=no pain, 10=worst pain).
- You have had a traumatic event and still feel on edge or easily startled.
- You do not have a known neurological disorder like epilepsy or Parkinson's.

This study tests whether a brain-stimulation headband (called tDCS) combined with a proven talk therapy for PTSD can help reduce both chronic pain and PTSD symptoms. It is for adults who have had chronic pain for at least 6 months and also have PTSD.
This study tests a type of brain stimulation (called accelerated neuromodulation) to see if it can help veterans who have both PTSD and chronic pain. It uses a device placed on the scalp to gently stimulate brain areas linked to these conditions, with the goal of reducing symptoms.
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.
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.
This study looks at how your brain controls attention by measuring brain activity while you perform tasks. It may help researchers understand attention better.
This study tests whether a type of education about how pain works in the brain (called Pain Neuroscience Education) can help people with long-term pain. It may help you understand your pain better and find new ways to cope.
