Post Radiation Plexopathy clinical trials at UCSF

1 research study open to eligible people

Post radiation plexopathy is nerve damage that occurs as a result of radiation treatment. UCSF is conducting trials on deep brain stimulation, which could help people with chronic pain that doesn't respond well to other treatments. These trials are recruiting individuals who experience pain that is hard to treat.

  • 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 only brain regions involved in one aspect of the pain experience and provide continuous 24/7 brain stimulation which may lose effect over time. By developing new technology that targets multiple, complimentary brain regions in an adaptive fashion, the investigators will test a new therapy for chronic pain that has potential for better, more enduring analgesia.
