Magnetic pulses aim to quiet stubborn nerve pain

NCT ID NCT05593237

First seen Mar 26, 2026 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 5 times

Summary

This study tests whether repeated magnetic pulses to the brain (rTMS) can safely reduce chronic neuropathic pain—pain from nerve damage that lasts over 6 months. About 32 adults with conditions like post-stroke pain, trigeminal neuralgia, or spinal cord injury will receive daily rTMS sessions. Researchers will measure pain changes over 2 weeks and 6 months, and use brain scans to find better targets for those who don't respond.
