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

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 type of brain stimulation called Temporal Interference Stimulation (TIS) to see if it can help reduce nerve pain. It may be an option if you have had nerve pain for at least a month and it is moderate or worse.
This study tests whether a personalized brain stimulation treatment (using a non-invasive technique called tDCS) can help reduce nerve pain in people with spinal cord injury. The researchers will also use EEG (a cap that records brain activity) to see how your brain responds.
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.
