Post Radiation Plexopathy clinical trials at UCSF

1 research study open to eligible people

Post radiation plexopathy is nerve damage in the shoulder and arm caused by prior radiation therapy. UCSF is running a study using brain stimulation to treat chronic pain that resists other treatments. UCSF is also doing tests with scans and nerve studies to measure nerve health.

  • 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.
