Veterans' brain scans reveal how pain relief devices rewire the mind

NCT ID NCT05811312

First seen Jun 02, 2026 · Last updated Jun 11, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study looks at how spinal cord stimulation (SCS) affects brain activity in veterans with long-term nerve pain. Researchers will use safe, non-invasive brain scans (fNIRS and EEG) to compare brain connections in people who already use SCS and those about to try it. The goal is to understand how SCS changes the brain, not to test a new treatment. About 40 veterans from the Cleveland VA will take part.
