Magnetic stimulation for veterans with nerve pain after injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a non-invasive magnetic stimulation treatment can help veterans with long-term nerve pain after an injury or surgery. It may offer a drug-free option to reduce pain and improve quality of life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a veteran (any branch, any race or ethnicity) and at least 18 years old.
- Your nerve pain started more than 4 months after a physical injury or surgery and is located in a specific area (like a hand, arm, or leg).
- Your average daily pain score is a 4 or higher on a 0-10 scale.
- You have had tests (like MRI or nerve studies) that show a nerve injury or disease causing your pain.
- You do not have certain other pain conditions like complex regional pain syndrome, phantom limb pain, or central pain (e.g., from diabetes, HIV, or chemotherapy).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies whether repeated magnetic stimulation of the brain can reduce ongoing nerve pain. It may help people whose nerve pain has been steady for at least a month and who still need pain medicine more than once a week.
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 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.
This study tests a non-invasive magnetic device placed on the skin to see how it relieves chronic pain caused by a past injury or surgery. It may help people who have had pain for at least three months and take medication for it.
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 non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can help reduce nerve pain. It uses brain scans and electrical tests to understand how TMS works, which may lead to better pain treatments.
