Magnetic brain stimulation for cancer pain
Part of Cancer, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses on the brain to help reduce cancer pain. It may help people whose pain is not well controlled and who have at least 3 months to live.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have cancer-related pain confirmed by your doctor, or nerve pain from cancer.
- Your worst pain in the last 24 hours is at least 4 out of 10.
- You are alert and able to describe your pain accurately.
- You are expected to live at least 3 months longer.
- Your cancer treatments (like chemo or hormone therapy) must stay the same during the study.
- You do not have any metal in your head, a pacemaker, cochlear implant, epilepsy, brain tumors, or serious mental health conditions.

This trial tests if repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a non-invasive brain stimulation, can reduce chronic nerve pain caused by cancer or its treatment. It may help patients who have not found relief from standard pain medications.
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 a non-invasive treatment called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain, aiming to reduce migraine pain. It is for people with frequent or chronic migraines who have not found relief from at least three preventive medications.
This trial studies whether noninvasive brain stimulation (TMS) can reduce pain in people with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). It may help if your CRPS has lasted at least a few months and you can safely undergo the stimulation and study tasks.
This study tests whether magnetic pulses applied to the brain can reduce nerve pain. It uses brain scans and electrical tests to see how the treatment works.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (using magnetic pulses) to see if it can change how the brain values and processes chronic pain, potentially helping to reduce pain.
