Magnetic brain stimulation for nerve pain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether magnetic pulses applied to the brain can reduce nerve pain. It uses brain scans and electrical tests to see how the treatment works.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 90 years old.
- You have nerve pain caused by peripheral neuropathy, confirmed by a neurologist with tests like nerve conduction studies, skin biopsy, or other objective measures.
- You can take care of your daily activities independently.
- You agree to avoid caffeine, alcohol, tea, and certain medications for 48 hours before each study visit.
- You do not have severe heart or lung disease, epilepsy, or certain psychiatric conditions.
- You do not have metal implants or devices that are not MRI-safe.

This trial tests if mild magnetic pulses to the brain area controlling movement can safely reduce nerve pain from damaged peripheral nerves.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (using magnetic pulses) to see if it can change how the brain values and processes chronic pain, potentially helping to reduce pain.
This trial studies whether repeated magnetic stimulation of the brain can reduce ongoing nerve pain. It may help people whose nerve pain has been steady for at least a month and who still need pain medicine more than once a week.
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.
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.
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.
