Magnetic brain stimulation for small fiber neuropathy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether magnetic brain stimulation can reduce pain in people with small fiber neuropathy, a nerve condition that causes burning or shooting pain. If you have this condition, this treatment might offer a new way to ease your pain without major side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with small fiber neuropathy (confirmed by a skin biopsy) and your cause is unknown.
- You have had pain that is at least 5 on a 10-point scale, lasting for more than 12 weeks.
- You do not have any other cause for your neuropathy (such as diabetes, thyroid problems, low B12, or heavy alcohol use).
- You have no signs of large nerve damage (such as weakness or numbness) and no metal implants or epilepsy.
- You are not pregnant and your pain medications have been stable for the past 30 days.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether a special type of spinal cord stimulation (which uses mild electrical pulses to block pain) can help repair damaged small nerve fibers in people with small fiber neuropathy. If you have chronic nerve pain and meet the criteria, you may be able to join.
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 if mild magnetic pulses to the brain area controlling movement can safely reduce nerve pain from damaged peripheral nerves.
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 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 tests whether high-intensity magnetic pulses applied to the injured area can reduce pain and improve muscle strength after a traumatic peripheral nerve injury. It is for people who still have pain and weakness at least 3 months after the injury.
