TMS for nerve pain from cancer chemo in breast/gyne cancer survivors
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests if transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a noninvasive brain treatment, can reduce nerve pain caused by chemotherapy in women who have had breast or gynecologic cancer. You may be eligible if you have ongoing nerve pain that hasn't been helped by standard pain medications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman aged 18 or older.
- You have been diagnosed with breast or gynecologic cancer.
- You developed nerve pain when starting or within a month after finishing chemotherapy with platinum drugs, taxanes, or vinca alkaloids.
- Your average pain level is at least 4 out of 10 over the past week.
- You have tried at least one standard nerve pain medication but stopped it because of side effects or because it didn't help after taking it for at least 6 weeks.
- You do not have a history of seizures, epilepsy, or any implanted metal or device in your head or spine that is unsafe for TMS.

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 a gentle brain stimulation treatment (called theta burst) to see if it can reduce nerve pain caused by breast cancer chemotherapy. If you have ongoing tingling or burning in your hands or feet, this treatment aims to calm those symptoms without using more medication.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation method to help reduce nerve pain caused by chemotherapy in breast cancer patients. It also uses brain scans to see how the treatment works.
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.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment to see if it can reduce nerve pain caused by chemotherapy. It also looks at how the treatment affects the brain and immune system.
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.
