Electrical stimulation device for pain in liver cirrhosis
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a device that uses gentle electrical pulses on your skin to help manage chronic pain. It's designed for people with liver cirrhosis who have ongoing pain, and it may improve comfort and daily functioning.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have cirrhosis (a liver condition) and your doctor confirms it.
- You've had chronic pain (evaluated as 4 or more out of 10 on most days for at least 3 months).
- You are willing to use a small device that sends gentle electrical pulses through the skin (called TEA) to help with pain.
- You have access to the internet (Wi-Fi or data) and a device like a smartphone, tablet, computer, or laptop.
- You do not have a pacemaker, defibrillator, or other implanted electronic device.
- You are not scheduled for a liver transplant within the next 6 months.

This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique to help people with chronic pain, specifically Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), manage pain-related avoidance behaviors. It may help reduce pain and improve daily function.
This trial tests if a gentle electric stimulation on the skin (TEAS) can reduce pain and speed up recovery after liver surgery. The treatment is non-invasive and may be an alternative to pain medicines.
This trial tests whether a gentle, needle-free electrical stimulation on certain points on the body (called TEAS) can help reduce chronic pain after liver surgery and improve long-term survival. It may be a good option if you are scheduled for a liver removal and want to explore non-drug pain relief.
This trial tests if a small, patient-controlled device that sends mild electrical pulses to acupoints (like acupuncture without needles) can improve quality of life for people with ongoing cancer pain. It may offer a drug-free way to manage pain at home.
This trial tests a device you can control to deliver mild electrical pulses to acupuncture points, which may help reduce cancer pain and improve your quality of life. You will be randomly assigned to receive real or sham treatment to see if it works.
