NEUROPATHIC PAIN

This study aims to see if a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation technique, used early during standard rehabilitation, can prevent the development of chronic nerve pain after a stroke. It will involve 60 people who have recently had a stroke but do not yet have nerve pain. Part…

This study is testing a new approach to reduce chronic nerve pain in people with spinal cord injuries. Ten participants will try a combination of virtual reality that simulates walking, gentle brain stimulation, and muscle vibration during ten sessions. The main goal is to see if…

This is a small, early-stage study to check if a common diabetes pill (glibenclamide) is safe and might help reduce nerve pain in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). Ten participants will first take the drug for a few days to ensure it's safe, then continue for three months to s…

This early-stage study is testing whether a surgically implanted brain stimulation device can reduce severe, long-lasting nerve pain. It will involve about 20 adults whose pain hasn't improved with standard medications or less invasive treatments. Researchers aim to see if the de…

This study is testing a new physical therapy approach for people with neck and arm pain from a pinched nerve in the neck. It will see if gently moving and stretching the *opposite*, pain-free arm can help reduce pain and improve movement in the painful arm. This could help patien…

This study is testing if a special vitamin B injection can reduce pain and improve quality of life for people with diabetic nerve damage. It will compare the injection to a standard vitamin B shot in 200 adults with long-term diabetic nerve pain. The main goal is to see if the ne…

This study is testing a new way to manage severe pain by having specially trained medical teams perform targeted pain-relief injections and nerve blocks right in a patient's home. It aims to see if this approach is safe, effective, and can improve comfort and quality of life for …

This study is testing a device called Scrambler Therapy to see if it can safely reduce nerve pain in children and young adults with cancer that has spread to their bones. Participants will have 5 to 10 short therapy sessions over a couple of weeks. The main goal is to see if the …

This study aims to see if a foot massage using scented oils can help reduce nerve pain in people with Type 2 diabetes. Researchers will compare massage with aromatherapy oil to massage with a plain oil to find out if the scent itself makes a difference. Participants will give the…

This study aims to understand why some cancer patients experience temporary symptoms after a procedure to relieve severe pain. Researchers will use MRI scans to look for swelling in the spinal cord after the procedure and see if it's linked to patients' pain levels or other sympt…

This international registry aims to collect real-world information on how well spinal cord stimulation and similar implanted devices work for people with chronic nerve pain. It will follow 1,000 patients who receive these treatments to track their quality of life and monitor devi…

This study aims to learn if early ultrasound pictures of burn scars can predict which ones will cause long-lasting pain months later. Researchers will scan the scars of 150 adults who suffered combat-related burns 2-12 weeks prior. They will check if features like scar thickness,…

This is the first study in people to test the safety of a potential new drug called ASCT-83, which is being developed for neuropathic pain. It will involve 72 healthy adults to check for side effects and see how the drug moves through the body. The goal is to find safe dose level…

This study aims to understand and predict who develops long-term pain after getting a pacemaker or similar heart device. Researchers will follow 180 patients for a year, measuring their pain and quality of life. The goal is to use this data to build an artificial intelligence too…
