Nerve stimulation for muscle and joint pain in cerebral palsy
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a non-invasive device that sends mild electrical pulses to a nerve in the ear to see if it can reduce long-term muscle and joint pain in adults with cerebral palsy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 trial uses a mild stimulation device on the ear to try to reduce nerve pain after a spinal cord injury. It aims to see if this non-drug approach can help people with chronic nerve pain.
This trial tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation of a nerve in the ear can reduce pain and inflammation in people with psoriatic arthritis. If you have moderate to high disease activity despite stable treatment, you may be able to join.
This study tests a gentle nerve stimulation device worn near your ear to see if it can reduce fibromyalgia pain and improve how your body handles stress. It is a non-invasive treatment option that you receive while continuing your regular medications.
This study tests a non-invasive device that stimulates a nerve in your neck to see if it can reduce chronic muscle or joint pain. It lasts about 6 weeks and may help people whose pain is linked to problems with the body's automatic functions, like heart rate and sweating.
This trial tests whether a non-invasive nerve stimulation device worn on the ear can help reduce pain and inflammation in people with lupus. It may be an option if you have moderate to severe muscle or joint pain and are not on certain medications that were recently started.
