Magnetic brain stimulation for spinal cord injury pain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 trial tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain, can improve movement and function in people with chronic spinal cord injury. It may help if you have some movement left below your injury level.
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 study tests whether a personalized brain stimulation treatment (using a non-invasive technique called tDCS) can help reduce nerve pain in people with spinal cord injury. The researchers will also use EEG (a cap that records brain activity) to see how your brain responds.
This study tests a non-drug treatment called repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to reduce depression symptoms in people with depression after a spinal cord injury. You might be eligible if you have ongoing major depression and can safely receive magnetic pulses to the head.
