Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

Complex oro-facial pain is a poorly diagnosed and poorly treated cause of significant suffering and disability. This study will explore the ability of fMRI to identify patients with complex oro-facial pain who respond to transcranial magnetic stimulation therapy. Specific Aims: 1. To establish baseline patterns of MRI in patients with chronic oro-facial pain without a definitive etiologic diagnosis. 2. To estimate the rate of treatment success of transcranial stimulation of the primary motor cortex (M1) in these patients. 3. To identify post-treatment MRI patterns that are associated with treatment success.

A profile link is shown only when the registered name resolves to a person record with a confident, namesake-checked match; ambiguous names stay unlinked.

Sites

1 registered facility, with the per-site recruitment status where the registry publishes one. ClinicalTrials.gov does not publish per-site enrollment counts.

United States

University of Minnesota

Site investigator names are published by ClinicalTrials.gov only while a study recruits, so completed studies list sites without them.
