TMS for nerve pain after spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- At least 12 months since your spinal cord injury
- You have central nerve pain below the level of injury for at least 6 months
- Age between 18 and 65
- Your pain is not caused by other conditions like rheumatologic disease or diabetes
- Your pain is severe (score over 4 on a 0-10 pain scale) despite trying medications, exercise, and physical therapy

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether painless magnetic stimulation of the brain (non-surgical) can reduce long-lasting nerve pain after spinal cord injury. It may help people whose spinal cord injury-related pain has been present for at least six months.
This study tests whether a magnetic treatment called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can help reduce nerve pain that some people have after a spinal cord injury. rTMS uses painless magnetic pulses to gently stimulate the brain, and it may help change how your brain processes pain.
This trial tests whether high-intensity magnetic pulses applied to the injured area can reduce pain and improve muscle strength after a traumatic peripheral nerve injury. It is for people who still have pain and weakness at least 3 months after the injury.
This study tests a new type of non-invasive brain stimulation, called temporal interference stimulation (TIS), to see if it can help relieve nerve pain that has not improved with standard treatments. If it works, it might offer a drug-free option for controlling chronic nerve pain.
This trial tests if mild magnetic pulses to the brain area controlling movement can safely reduce nerve pain from damaged peripheral nerves.
This study tests whether a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp can help relieve nerve pain that continues after an injury to the spinal cord, arm or leg amputation, or brain injury. Participants will continue their usual pain medications during the trial.
