Testing an accelerated TMS for chronic pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests an accelerated form of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) — a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain — to see if it can reduce chronic pain. If you have long-term pain that hasn't responded well to at least two medications, this trial might be a good option for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have had chronic pain for at least 12 months.
- You have tried at least two different types of pain medications that didn't work well.
- Your average pain over the last two weeks is at least 5 on a 0–10 scale.
- You are not currently taking high-dose opioids (more than the equivalent of 90 mg of morphine daily).
- You do not have metal implants in your head, a pacemaker, a history of seizures, or other conditions that would make TMS or MRI unsafe for you.

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 study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment, called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), to see if it can help people who have both major depression that hasn't improved with medication and chronic pain from fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome. It aims to reduce both depression and pain symptoms.
This study tests if personalized repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, can help reduce chronic pain. It aims to find out if targeting specific brain areas based on your pain patterns works better than standard treatment.
This trial tests a personalized form of brain stimulation (high-definition tDCS) to treat chronic pain that has not improved with other treatments. If you have had pain for at least 6 months and it is still moderate to severe, this may be an option to explore.
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 trial tests if mild magnetic pulses to the brain area controlling movement can safely reduce nerve pain from damaged peripheral nerves.
