Brain stimulation for nerve pain relief
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a new type of non-invasive brain stimulation, called temporal interference stimulation (TIS), to see if it can help relieve nerve pain that has not improved with standard treatments. If it works, it might offer a drug-free option for controlling chronic nerve pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years of age or older.
- You must have nerve pain diagnosed by a doctor that has lasted at least one month.
- Your pain must be at least moderate (score 3 or higher on a 0-10 scale).
- Your pain medications must be stable for at least 2 weeks before the study starts.
- You cannot have metal implants (like a pacemaker) or a history of seizures.
- You must be willing to receive the TIS treatment and attend 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 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 trial tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation technique (rTMS) can help people with long-term nerve pain who also have depression. It aims to see if this treatment can reduce pain and improve mood.
This trial tests a faster type of brain stimulation (AiTBS) for people with nerve pain. If you have had nerve pain for at least three months and it is moderately severe, this non-invasive treatment might help reduce your pain.
This study tests two types of magnetic brain stimulation (aiTBS and rTMS) to treat long-lasting nerve pain. Researchers want to see which approach works better and develop a way to predict who will benefit most.
