Pain relief study for kids with nerve pain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a device that uses mild electrical pulses to reduce nerve pain in children with cancer. It may offer a drug-free way to manage pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be able to tell us how much pain they feel.
- Your child must have cancer and have nerve pain (ongoing or sudden).
- Your child cannot have a pacemaker, insulin pump, or other implanted device.
- Your child cannot have epilepsy or seizures.
- Your child cannot be pregnant.
- Your child must not have had a heart attack or serious heart disease in the last 6 months.
- Your child must not have severe heart rhythm problems.
- Your child must not have open wounds or infections where the device pads go.
- Your child must not have had a bad reaction to electrical nerve stimulation before.

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 type of spinal cord stimulator (a device that sends gentle electrical pulses to your spine to block pain signals) for people with chronic pain in their back, chest, or arms or legs. The goal is to see how well it works in real-life settings.
This trial tests whether stimulating two brain networks with implanted electrodes can relieve chronic nerve pain that hasn't responded to other treatments. It is for people with severe pain lasting more than six months.
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.
