NCT ID NCT01918826
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether a TENS device, which sends mild electrical pulses through the skin, can reduce leg pain in people with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. Ten adults with chronic pain participated. The goal was to see if pain scores dropped by at least 30%.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) device
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a drug-free, low-risk way to manage chronic pain in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, early study with only 10 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Pain relief may be minimal or not last.
