Brain stimulation for chronic pain in psoriatic arthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (TMS) can help reduce chronic pain in people with psoriatic arthritis. It also looks at how the brain and immune system interact.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have psoriatic arthritis that is under control (low disease activity or remission).
- You have had chronic pain for at least 3 months and rate it at least 30 on a 0–100 pain scale.
- You have been on the same medications for your condition for at least 3 months and can stay on them.
- You are able to undergo an MRI and a TMS session (no metal implants, pacemaker, or seizure history).

This trial tests if a gentle, home-based brain stimulation device (tDCS) can reduce chronic pain in people with rheumatoid arthritis who have low inflammation. It may offer a drug-free way to manage pain.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment, called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), to see if it can help people who have both major depression that hasn't improved with medication and chronic pain from fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome. It aims to reduce both depression and pain symptoms.
This trial studies whether noninvasive brain stimulation (TMS) can reduce pain in people with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). It may help if your CRPS has lasted at least a few months and you can safely undergo the stimulation and study tasks.
This study tests whether personalized sessions of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, can help reduce chronic pain. It aims to understand how this treatment works and how it might be tailored to individuals.
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 a non-invasive brain stimulation technique to help people with chronic pain, specifically Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), manage pain-related avoidance behaviors. It may help reduce pain and improve daily function.
