Brain zaps aim to quiet stubborn nerve pain in spinal injury patients
NCT ID NCT07293780
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether magnetic pulses to the brain (TMS) can ease nerve pain that won't go away with standard drugs in people with spinal cord injury. 39 adults with pain for at least 6 months will receive either real or sham TMS to the motor cortex or the anterior cingulate cortex over 2 weeks. The goal is to see if targeting a different brain area works better for pain relief.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a new, non-drug way to reduce chronic nerve pain after spinal cord injury.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 39 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The effect may be modest or no better than sham treatment.
