Chronic Pain After Combat-Related Brain Injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Mental health, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how pain becomes long-term (chronic) after a combat-related traumatic brain injury. By following people soon after their injury, researchers hope to find ways to prevent ongoing pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 60 years old.
- Your brain injury happened during combat (from a blast, hit, or both) and is mild or moderate in severity.
- You must join the study within 14 days of the injury.
- You cannot have had chronic pain before the brain injury.
- You cannot have a severe mental health condition unrelated to the injury.

This study is looking for people with combat-related arm or leg injuries to see if how they move can predict long-term pain. Researchers hope to better understand who might develop chronic pain and help improve treatment.
This study looks at whether a type of wound care called negative pressure wound therapy (a vacuum-like treatment to help wounds heal) can help predict if someone will have long-term pain after a war-related injury. It aims to understand how this therapy affects pain outcomes.
This study is looking at how often blood clots and long-term pain happen after serious arm or leg injuries. If you have had such an injury and are treated in the hospital, joining this study may help doctors better understand and manage these complications.
This study looks at why some people develop long-term pain after a serious injury. It tracks patients over time to find early signs of chronic pain.
This trial tests a brain-training technique called EEG-neurofeedback to help people with ongoing pain after a traumatic event. It aims to retrain overactive brain networks to reduce pain and distress.
This study tests a type of brain stimulation (called accelerated neuromodulation) to see if it can help veterans who have both PTSD and chronic pain. It uses a device placed on the scalp to gently stimulate brain areas linked to these conditions, with the goal of reducing symptoms.
