Complex Regional Pain Syndrome clinical trials at UCSF
2 research studies open to eligible people
Complex regional pain syndrome is a condition that causes severe, long-lasting pain. UCSF is exploring deep brain stimulation, which may help people with chronic pain who do not get relief from other treatments. UCSF is also studying transcranial magnetic stimulation to see if it can reduce nerve pain.
Closed-Loop Deep Brain Stimulation for Refractory Chronic Pain
open to eligible people ages 22-80
Chronic pain affects 1 in 4 US adults, and many cases are resistant to almost any treatment. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) holds promise as a new option for patients suffering from treatment-resistant chronic pain, but traditional approaches target…
