NCT ID NCT05311956
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a small, battery-powered headband that delivers a gentle electrical pulse to the scalp to help reduce chronic pain in people with end-stage kidney disease who are on dialysis. About 125 adults will use the device at home and report their pain levels. The goal is to see if this non-drug approach can make daily life less painful.
