Brain stimulation & rehab to prevent post-stroke pain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether early brain stimulation (tDCS) combined with rehab can help prevent pain after a stroke. It's for people who have had a stroke within the last 7 to 45 days in specific brain areas and have some movement or sensation problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You've had a stroke (bleeding or clot) in a specific part of your brain, confirmed by MRI or CT scan.
- Your stroke happened between 7 and 45 days ago.
- You have weakness or loss of feeling that needs rehab.
- You didn't have chronic nerve pain before your stroke.
- You don't have metal in your head, a pacemaker, seizures, or claustrophobia.

This trial tests if a gentle, home-use electrical brain stimulation device (tDCS) can help people with long-lasting pain that hasn't responded well to other treatments. If you have had pain for at least 6 months and a previous brain stimulation helped only briefly, this study may offer a new option.
This study tests a personalized, non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to help improve movement in people who have had a stroke that affects one side of the body. It aims to see if this gentle electrical stimulation can boost recovery of arm and hand function.
This study uses brain imaging (fMRI) and a mild electrical stimulation (tDCS) to understand and potentially help nerve pain. You may be eligible if you have nerve pain or numbness from peripheral neuropathy or a stroke, and can avoid caffeine/alcohol before visits.
This trial tests whether a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS (transcranial direct current stimulation) can help relieve long-term nerve pain. It may be an option if you have had nerve pain for at least 3 months and are not helped enough by your current medicines.
This trial tests whether deep brain stimulation (using a device implanted in the brain) can help relieve severe, long-lasting pain caused by a stroke. It is for people who have tried other treatments without success.
This study tests a type of brain “neuromodulation” to reduce central post-stroke pain (CPSP) and to understand how it works and whether it’s safe. It’s for people whose pain has not improved enough with certain standard pain medicines.
