BreEStim for nerve pain after spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a treatment called BreEStim to see if it helps relieve nerve pain (neuropathic pain) that you've had for more than 3 months after a spinal cord injury. You must have had the injury for over a year and be stable on your current pain medications.
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 3 months
- You have a certain level of nerve pain (a DN4 score of 4 or higher)
- Your oral pain medications have been the same for at least one month
- You are willing and able to receive the BreEStim treatment for 1 minute

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether a personalized brain stimulation treatment (using a non-invasive technique called tDCS) can help reduce nerve pain in people with spinal cord injury. The researchers will also use EEG (a cap that records brain activity) to see how your brain responds.
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 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 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 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 study tests whether stimulating the nerves in your spine (via an epidural device) can improve rehab-related function after a spinal cord injury. It focuses on people with stable, motor-complete paraplegia and long-term injuries, and it compares how you respond to the stimulation during rehabilitation.
