BreEStim for nerve pain after spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a device called BreEStim that uses mild electrical pulses to help manage nerve pain in people with a spinal cord injury. If you've had nerve pain for more than three months that hasn't improved with your current pain medications, this treatment might offer a new option.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a spinal cord injury for more than one year
- You have had nerve pain for more than three months
- Your current pain medication dose has been stable for at least one month
- You can feel a 1-minute test treatment without discomfort
- You do not have a pacemaker, certain heart or lung conditions, or other major health issues

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests if spinal cord stimulation (a device that sends mild electrical pulses to your spinal cord) can help relieve long-lasting nerve pain in your arm or leg that hasn't gotten better with other treatments. It's for people who have had this pain for at least 6 months and are willing to try a new approach.
This trial tests whether painless magnetic stimulation of the brain (non-surgical) can reduce long-lasting nerve pain after spinal cord injury. It may help people whose spinal cord injury-related pain has been present for at least six months.
This trial tests whether an implanted device that sends electrical pulses to the spinal cord can help people with spinal cord injuries regain movement. It is for those who have not seen recent improvement with rehab.
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 whether transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a non-invasive brain stimulation, can help relieve nerve pain in people with spinal cord injury. It is for those who have had chronic nerve pain for at least 6 months that hasn't improved with standard treatments.
This trial tests an implanted nerve stimulation approach to help people with certain spinal cord injuries regain more voluntary movement. It may help if your injury pattern and MRI findings suggest there are still usable nerve fibers that can be targeted.
