Magnetic stimulation for traumatic nerve injury pain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether high-intensity magnetic pulses applied to the injured area can reduce pain and improve muscle strength after a traumatic peripheral nerve injury. It is for people who still have pain and weakness at least 3 months after the injury.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have a nerve injury caused by trauma (like an accident or cut) that affects one arm or leg.
- The injury happened at least 3 months ago.
- You have pain that rates 4 or higher on a 0-10 scale and a specific nerve pain score of at least 4.
- The injured muscle is weaker than normal (less than full strength on manual testing).
- You have not changed pain medications in the last month, or are not taking any.

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 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 study tests whether a magnetic treatment called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can help reduce nerve pain that some people have after a spinal cord injury. rTMS uses painless magnetic pulses to gently stimulate the brain, and it may help change how your brain processes pain.
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 stimulating two brain networks with implanted electrodes can relieve chronic nerve pain that hasn't responded to other treatments. It is for people with severe pain lasting more than six months.
This study tests whether a non-invasive magnetic stimulation treatment can help veterans with long-term nerve pain after an injury or surgery. It may offer a drug-free option to reduce pain and improve quality of life.
