Ultrasound for chronic nerve pain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether using ultrasound to gently stimulate specific nerves can reduce chronic pain. It may help people whose pain hasn't been relieved by other treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have chronic pain in one of these areas: back of the head, shoulder, arm/hand, leg, or pain from a nerve block or amputation.
- Your skin where the device is placed must be healthy — no burns, skin conditions, or open wounds.
- You cannot be pregnant.
- You must be in overall good health.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a noninvasive treatment called low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) to help relieve chronic pain. It may be an option if you have had moderate to severe pain for at least 3 months.
This study tests a new, non-invasive ultrasound treatment for people with long-term back pain who also have opioid use disorder and anxiety. It aims to see if this gentle brain stimulation can reduce pain and improve quality of life.
This trial tests whether stimulating a specific brain area (the insula) can reduce chronic nerve pain. It is for people whose pain has lasted at least 6 months and has not improved enough with several pain medicines and other procedures.
This Phase 2 study looks at how spinal cord (or nerve-root) stimulation affects pain signals in the brain and body. You may qualify if you already have a stimulator set to a comfort mode that avoids “tingling” sensations.
This trial tests how well two types of peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) devices relieve chronic pain caused by a single nerve injury. It looks for people who already have a referral for PNS therapy as part of their usual care and who have gotten at least 50% relief from a diagnostic nerve block.
This trial tests a non-invasive treatment called pulsed radiofrequency for people with chronic nerve pain after an injury. It uses a device that sends short bursts of energy to the painful area to help reduce pain without surgery.
