Brain activity study for experimental and chronic pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study uses MRI and EEG to look at brain connections involved in pain. It may help us understand how the brain processes pain and could lead to better treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be able to have an MRI and EEG scan safely (no metal implants, no claustrophobia, not pregnant).

- You cannot have a major medical, neurological, or psychiatric illness (like heart disease, asthma, epilepsy, or severe mental illness).
- You cannot have a history of head trauma.
- You cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how mindfulness and expectations (placebo effects) influence how we experience pain. You'll receive a mild electrical stimulation and heat pain, and your brain will be scanned with MRI while you practice mindfulness techniques. Participation may help researchers understand how to improve pain treatments.
This trial tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation technique called tACS can help reduce chronic low back pain. Participants will have brain scans and receive the treatment over several sessions.
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.
This study tests if a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp can change how people feel pain and manage emotions. It may help researchers find new ways to help people with pain.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment (transcranial electrical stimulation) for people who have both depression and chronic pain. It aims to see if this treatment can help improve mood and reduce pain.
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.
