Summary

This study tests whether a non-invasive magnetic stimulation device (AtMS) can reduce nerve pain caused by injury or surgery in veterans and active-duty military. 180 participants will receive either active, fixed, or sham stimulation over 16 weeks. Researchers will measure pain, mood, sleep, and daily function to see if AtMS offers real relief.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Transcutaneous magnetic stimulation (tMS) device

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a non-drug option to ease chronic nerve pain after injury or surgery.

What could go wrong

This is an early-stage study with no phase assigned, so results are uncertain. The device may not reduce pain more than a sham treatment.
