NCT ID NCT07352553
First seen Jan 21, 2026 · Last updated Jun 07, 2026 · Updated 24 times
Summary
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique can reduce pain in people with postherpetic neuralgia, a chronic nerve pain that lingers after shingles. About 94 adults with moderate to severe pain will receive either real stimulation or a sham (fake) treatment. The goal is to see if this safe, drug-free approach can offer relief when standard medications fall short.
