Post-Stroke Pain clinical trials at UCSF
3 in progress, 2 open to eligible people
Post-stroke pain is a type of pain that can occur after someone has a stroke. UCSF is researching if deep brain stimulation can help people with stubborn chronic pain. UCSF is also investigating the effects of magnetic stimulation on chronic pain from nerve damage.
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…

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for Chronic Neuropathic Pain
open to eligible people ages 18-80
Chronic neuropathic pain is defined as pain caused by a lesion or disease of the somatosensory nervous system. It is highly prevalent, debilitating, and challenging to treat. Current available treatments have low efficacy, high side effect burden,…

Closed-loop Deep Brain Stimulation to Treat Refractory Neuropathic Pain
Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) holds promise as a new option for patients suffering from treatment-resistant chronic pain, but current technology is unable to reliably achieve long-term pain symptom relief. A "one-size-fits-all" approach of…
