Brain study for burn survivors with ongoing pain
Part of Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how the brain processes pain in people who have had burn injuries. By understanding the brain's role, researchers hope to find better ways to treat long-term burn pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You were previously hospitalized for a burn injury.
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have had burn-related pain rated at least 4 out of 10 in the past week.
- Your burn injury happened 6 or more months ago.
- You do not have another pain condition that is worse than your burn pain.
- You are able to have an MRI scan and are living in the community (not in a hospital or nursing facility).

This study looks at how brain activity changes in people with long-lasting nerve pain using an MRI scan while you do simple behavioral tasks. It may help researchers understand brain function in chronic neuropathic pain and how it affects day-to-day abilities.
This study looks at how creativity and motivation affect chronic pain by using brain scans (MRI). You'll do thinking tasks during the scan, and the results may help develop new ways to manage pain.
This study follows people who had a combat-related brain injury to see how pain develops over time. By tracking your pain, researchers hope to find ways to prevent long-term pain.
This trial tests a brain-training technique called EEG-neurofeedback to help people with ongoing pain after a traumatic event. It aims to retrain overactive brain networks to reduce pain and distress.
This study uses MRI scans to understand how your brain responds to different feelings, including mild heat pain. It may help researchers learn more about pain and brain processing by comparing your responses during the tests.
This study tests how people sense heat and pain, and how the brain and emotions may influence that experience. It is designed for healthy adults and may involve training sessions and (for some parts) MRI scanning.
