Zapping the brain to stop face pain: new hope for sufferers
NCT ID NCT07352384
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether non-invasive brain stimulation (tDCS or TMS) can reduce chronic orofacial pain—pain in the face, mouth, or jaw that lasts more than 3 months. About 50 adults who haven't gotten enough relief from standard treatments will receive either real stimulation or a sham (placebo) over two weeks. Researchers will measure pain levels, chewing function, and quality of life to see if this approach offers a safe, drug-free option for pain control.
