Could your breath help tame nerve pain after spinal injury?
NCT ID NCT07659743
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a device called BreEStim that uses electrical stimulation timed with your breathing to reduce nerve pain after spinal cord injury. About 66 adults with long-term spinal cord injury and stable pain will receive either active or sham treatment. The goal is to see if this approach can safely lower pain levels.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
BreEStim (breathing-controlled electrical stimulation device)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a new, non-drug way to manage chronic neuropathic pain after spinal cord injury.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 66 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The sham control helps, but the effect may be modest or not last long.
