What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests whether a non-invasive magnetic stimulation device (AtMS) can reduce nerve pain caused by injury or surgery in veterans and active-duty military. 180 participants will receive either active, fixed, or sham stimulation over 16 weeks. Researchers will measure pain, mood, sleep, and daily function to see if AtMS offers real relief.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Transcutaneous magnetic stimulation (tMS) device
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a non-drug option to ease chronic nerve pain after injury or surgery.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study with no phase assigned, so results are uncertain. The device may not reduce pain more than a sham treatment.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 180 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Veterans (men or women) of any race or ethnicity who are at least 18 years of age * Chronic peripheral neuropathic pain present for more than 4 months after a traumatic or surgical event per medical history * Have an average daily Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) score \> 3 * At least one negative or positive sensory sign or symptom confined to innervation territory of the lesioned nervous structure * Prior diagnostic tests confirming lesion or disease explaining neuropathic Exclusion Criteria: * Pregnancy * Subjects with central neuropathic pain (ex: due to diabetic peripheral neuropathy, HIV, chemo/anti-viral therapy, carpal tunnel syndrome, post-traumatic pain classified as central rather than peripheral) * Subjects with pain due to Complex Regional Pain Syndrome * Phantom limb pain after amputation (stump pain and phantom sensation are allowed) * Subjects with skin conditions in the affected dermatome * Subjects with other pain such as lumbar or cervical radiculopathy that may confound assessment * Any subject considered at risk of suicide * Use of prohibited medications in the absence of appropriate washout periods * Participation in any other clinical trial within the 30 days prior to screening and/or during participation in this study * Heart pacemaker * Subjects with a current diagnosis of DSM-IV-TR Axis I disorder (GAD \& MDD are allowed if clinically stable) * Subjects with pending lawsuits related to injury * Subjects who have previously received either transcranial or transcutaneous magnetic stimulation therapy in the past
