Personalized brain stimulation for chronic pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a personalized form of brain stimulation (high-definition tDCS) to treat chronic pain that has not improved with other treatments. If you have had pain for at least 6 months and it is still moderate to severe, this may be an option to explore.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had chronic pain for at least 6 months.
- Your pain is usually moderate to severe (score 4 or higher on a 0-10 scale) for the last 3 months.
- Your pain has not improved with treatments like medications, physical therapy, nerve blocks, or other procedures.
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- Your pain level is stable, and you can keep your current pain treatments the same for 1 week.

This trial uses a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS to see if it can reduce chronic pain in people with certain pain conditions. You would self-administer the treatment and report your results.
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 a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called tDCS to see if it helps reduce chronic pain in adults with cerebral palsy. It uses a small device that sends a weak electrical current to the brain, and uses text messages to track your pain levels.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment (transcranial electrical stimulation) for people who have both depression and chronic pain. It aims to see if this treatment can help improve mood and reduce pain.
This study tests if personalized repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, can help reduce chronic pain. It aims to find out if targeting specific brain areas based on your pain patterns works better than standard treatment.
This study tests whether a brain-stimulation headband (called tDCS) combined with a proven talk therapy for PTSD can help reduce both chronic pain and PTSD symptoms. It is for adults who have had chronic pain for at least 6 months and also have PTSD.
