Nerve zap study aims to sharpen pain procedure
NCT ID NCT05269472
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether measuring nerve signals during a standard procedure for trigeminal neuralgia (a type of severe facial pain) can help doctors target the treatment more precisely. About 30 adults scheduled for the procedure will have their nerve responses recorded from the scalp and at the treatment site. The goal is to see if this approach is feasible and could lead to better pain relief.
