NCT ID NCT07352553
First seen Jan 21, 2026 · Last updated May 02, 2026 · Updated 15 times
Summary
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique for people with postherpetic neuralgia, a painful condition that can last months after a shingles rash heals. About 94 adults with moderate to severe pain will receive either real or sham (fake) stimulation to see if it safely reduces pain and improves quality of life. The goal is to find a new option for those who don't get enough relief from standard medications.
