Summary: This study aims to provide pilot data to support vagus nerve stimulation to relieve Gulf War illness-related widespread pain and provide a basis for a multi-site clinical trial. The treatment has been shown to be effective in fibromyalgia.

ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02791893

Status (2021): COMPLETED

Summary: This is a trial of High Definition transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (HD tDCS) to improve cognitive deficits (word retrieval) and memory issues in veterans with Gulf War illness.

ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: Pending

Status (2021): OPEN

Summary: This study applies neuronavigation-guided repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to alleviate chronic pain and headache in veterans with Gulf War illness. It is expected that a successful pilot trial will lead to a larger multi-site trial.

ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03030794

Status (2021): COMPLETED

Summary: This is a pilot trial for transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) for pain in veterans with Gulf War illness. The treatment has proven effective for fibromyalgia. This study will be used to formalize procedures and training for a larger multi-site study.

ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03547869

Status (2021): CLOSED

Summary: A large, multi-site trial to extend initial findings from GW150133 using neuronavigation-guided repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) for headache pain for ill Gulf War Veterans.

ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04182659

Status (2021): OPEN
