Brain stimulation for chronic nerve pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years or older.
- Have nerve-related pain (neuropathic pain) for at least 3 months.
- Be on a stable schedule of pain medicines.
- Be in good general health with no acute illness in the past 6 weeks.
- Be able to lie still on your back for 1 hour inside an MRI scanner.
- Not be pregnant or planning to become pregnant during the study.

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 whether magnetic pulses applied to the brain can reduce nerve pain. It uses brain scans and electrical tests to see how the treatment works.
This trial tests whether a form of brain stimulation (rTMS) can reduce chronic nerve pain that has lasted more than a year and hasn’t improved with standard treatments. It may help people whose usual pain medicines are stable but still not working well.
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 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 trial studies whether noninvasive brain stimulation (TMS) can reduce pain in people with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). It may help if your CRPS has lasted at least a few months and you can safely undergo the stimulation and study tasks.
