Noninvasive Modulation of Chronic Neuropathic Pain

NCT06249724 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Phase: PHASE1/PHASE2 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study will apply low-intensity transcranial focused ultrasound to dorsal root ganglia in patients with chronic neuropathic pain. The target will be validated using magnetic resonance imaging. The stimulation will first be delivered using a range of stimulation parameters during psychophysical and physiological monitoring. A well-tolerated stimulation protocol will be selected for subsequent testing in a blinded randomized sham-controlled cross-over trial. The level of pain will be evaluated using the Numerical Rating Scale (NSR-11) and the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) numerical rating scales of pain.
