TMS for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome
This study is testing if Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) can help people with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). TMS uses magnetic pulses to stimulate specific areas of the brain. Researchers want to see if TMS can reduce pain and other symptoms like cognitive (thinking), emotional, and physical issues. You might be able to join if you are 18-70 years old, have had CRPS for at least 3 months, and your pain level meets certain requirements. The study will compare people who receive TMS to those who receive a sham (inactive) treatment. The main goals are to see how much pain changes after one week and how long any pain relief lasts, up to an estimated six months. The current status of this study is unclear.
- Study design
- This study is an interventional trial planning to enroll 40 participants. It will compare the effects of active TMS to a sham treatment.
- What's involved
- Participants will receive TMS or sham treatment once daily for two days. You will be followed until your pain returns to baseline for two consecutive weeks.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Participants will be followed to assess the duration of pain relief, up to an estimated 6 months, and until their pain returns to baseline for two consecutive weeks.
