Brain stimulation for nerve pain in NMOSD
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This trial tests a new, non-invasive brain stimulation method (tTIS) to treat chronic nerve pain in people with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD). It aims to see if this treatment is safe and can reduce pain without surgery or drugs.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with NMOSD according to standard guidelines.
- You have nerve pain that has lasted over 3 months and rates at least 4 on a 0–10 pain scale.
- Your nerve pain is confirmed by a screening questionnaire with a score of 4 or higher.
- You are on a stable dose of biologic therapy or prednisone for at least 30 days before joining.
- You have not changed any pain medications (like gabapentin, antidepressants, or opioids) in the last 30 days.
- You do not have other conditions that could cause similar pain, like peripheral nerve damage or other active brain diseases.

This study tests a noninvasive brain stimulation technique (transcranial electrical stimulation) to see if it can reduce chronic pain in people with conditions like multiple sclerosis or neuromyelitis optica. It aims to offer a new, drug-free option for pain relief without major side effects.
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 trial tests if mild magnetic pulses to the brain area controlling movement can safely reduce nerve pain from damaged peripheral nerves.
This study tests two types of magnetic brain stimulation (aiTBS and rTMS) to treat long-lasting nerve pain. Researchers want to see which approach works better and develop a way to predict who will benefit most.
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.
This trial tests a faster type of brain stimulation (AiTBS) for people with nerve pain. If you have had nerve pain for at least three months and it is moderately severe, this non-invasive treatment might help reduce your pain.
