Studying pain and itch in Marsili syndrome with brain stimulation
Treatments studied
Part of Genetic & congenital, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how the brain processes pain and itch in people with Marsili syndrome. It uses a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to explore new ways to treat pain, which may help develop better pain relief options.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old
- You have been diagnosed with Marsili syndrome
- You can speak and understand English
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding
- You do not currently use recreational drugs or certain prescription medications that affect pain or brain activity
- You have no history of neurological or severe psychiatric disorders, and no metal implants or other issues that would make brain stimulation unsafe

This study tests whether imagining movements changes brain activity when you feel pain or itch. It could help scientists understand how the brain responds to these sensations.
This study tests a new way to safely trigger itching and mild inflammation in healthy volunteers, which may help researchers better understand these sensations and develop better treatments.
This study tests whether personalized sessions of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, can help reduce chronic pain. It aims to understand how this treatment works and how it might be tailored to individuals.
This study looks at how the skin senses itch and pain by applying a small amount of chili cream (capsaicin) to different spots. It may help doctors better understand pain and itch conditions in the future.
This study explores how the brain processes pain by using gentle magnetic pulses (TMS) and repeated cold or pressure stimuli. It is for healthy people who are pain-free and aims to understand pain control better.
This study tests an accelerated form of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) — a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain — to see if it can reduce chronic pain. If you have long-term pain that hasn't responded well to at least two medications, this trial might be a good option for you.
