Testing a new brain stimulation for nerve pain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a type of brain stimulation called Temporal Interference Stimulation (TIS) to see if it can help reduce nerve pain. It may be an option if you have had nerve pain for at least a month and it is moderate or worse.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a diagnosis of nerve pain (peripheral neuropathic pain) from an approved source
- Your pain started at least a month ago
- Your pain is at least moderate (score of 3 or more on a 0–10 scale)
- You are at least 18 years old
- Your pain medications have been stable for at least 2 weeks and will stay stable during the study
- You are willing to receive the brain stimulation and complete all study visits

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS (transcranial direct current stimulation) can help relieve long-term nerve pain. It may be an option if you have had nerve pain for at least 3 months and are not helped enough by your current medicines.
This study uses brain imaging (fMRI) and a mild electrical stimulation (tDCS) to understand and potentially help nerve pain. You may be eligible if you have nerve pain or numbness from peripheral neuropathy or a stroke, and can avoid caffeine/alcohol before visits.
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 study tests a device that delivers mild electrical stimulation to the brain from home to help reduce chronic nerve pain. It focuses on people whose pain has not improved enough despite stable pain medicines.
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.
