Magnetic pulses to the brain may ease stubborn nerve pain
NCT ID NCT05593237
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether repeated magnetic pulses (rTMS) aimed at the brain's motor area can safely reduce chronic nerve pain that hasn't responded to other treatments. About 32 adults with conditions like post-stroke pain, trigeminal neuralgia, or spinal cord injury will receive daily rTMS sessions over two weeks. Researchers will measure pain changes and use brain scans to find better targets for those who don't improve.
