Pain relief device for children with nerve pain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a small device that sends gentle electrical pulses through the skin to help reduce nerve-related pain in children with cancer. It aims to see if this non-drug approach can safely and effectively ease acute or long-term pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is being treated for cancer and has pain, either sudden or ongoing.
- Your child can tell us their pain level, such as by saying a number from 0 to 10.
- Your child does not have any implanted medical devices, like a pacemaker or pain pump.
- Your child does not have epilepsy or a history of severe heart problems.
- Your child does not have open wounds or infections where the electrodes would be placed.
- Your child is not pregnant.

This study tests a non-invasive pain treatment called scrambler therapy for people with chronic pancreatitis. It uses mild electrical signals on the skin to try to reduce long-term belly pain.
This trial tests whether a new type of spinal cord stimulator (SCS) can reduce pain caused by chemotherapy. If you have lasting nerve pain after cancer treatment and standard pain medications haven't helped, this device might offer relief.
This Phase 2 study looks at how spinal cord (or nerve-root) stimulation affects pain signals in the brain and body. You may qualify if you already have a stimulator set to a comfort mode that avoids “tingling” sensations.
This study tests a new device that measures pain signals in children with long-lasting pain. It may help doctors better understand and manage chronic pain in kids.
This study tests a device implanted in the brain that may reduce long-lasting nerve pain that has not improved with other treatments. It could help people with pain after nerve injury, stroke, or other conditions.
This study tests whether adding a non-invasive device called Scrambler Therapy to the usual nerve pain medicine (duloxetine) can better relieve chemotherapy-induced nerve pain. It is for people with cancer who still have significant nerve pain despite taking duloxetine.
