Clinical Trial: TMS for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome

Study Status: Recruiting
Recruit Status: Recruiting
Study Type: Interventional

Official Title: Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)

Brief Summary: The aim of the current study is to assess the efficacy of TMS in the treatment of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). It is hypothesized that participants who receive TMS (Group 1) relative to sham treatment (Group 2) once daily for two days will demonstrate a greater improvement in CRPS-related pain and other associated symptomology (i.e., cognitive, emotional and physical) compared to baseline. Participants will be followed until they reach their baseline for two consecutive weeks to assess safety and duration of symptom alleviation.

Detailed Summary:
Sponsor: Stanford University

Current Primary Outcome:

  • Change in Pain [ Time Frame: 1 week follow-up compared to baseline ]
    Decrease in CRPS-related Pain Ratings
  • Duration of Pain Relief [ Time Frame: Duration from last treatment until pain returns - up to an estimate of 6 months ]
    Duration of decreased CRPS-related pain ratings, measured as a length of time until pain returns for two consecutive weeks


Original Primary Outcome: Same as current

Current Secondary Outcome: Change in Pain-related Symptomology [ Time Frame: Duration from last treatment until pain returns - up to an estimate of 6 months ]

Decreases in Pain-related Symptomology (i.e., cognitive, emotional and physical)


Original Secondary Outcome: Same as current
