Magnetic brain stimulation for cancer pain relief
Part of Cancer, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a non-invasive magnetic brain stimulation treatment can help manage cancer-related pain. It may be an option for people with cancer pain who are not helped enough by current treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have cancer pain, as confirmed by your doctor
- Your worst pain in the past day is at least a 4 on a 0-to-10 scale
- You are able to understand and report your pain level
- Your doctor expects you to live longer than 3 months
- Your current cancer treatments (like chemo or hormone therapy) have been stable and will not change during the study
- You do not have any metal in your head or neck, a pacemaker, a history of seizures, or a brain tumor

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 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 personalized sessions of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, can help reduce chronic pain. It aims to understand how this treatment works and how it might be tailored to individuals.
This trial tests whether a form of brain stimulation (rTMS) can reduce chronic nerve pain that has lasted more than a year and hasn’t improved with standard treatments. It may help people whose usual pain medicines are stable but still not working well.
This study tests a non-invasive type of brain stimulation called rTMS for people with frequent or chronic migraine who have not found relief from at least 3 prevention medications. The goal is to see if this treatment can safely reduce pain.
