Cannabis extract for nerve back pain and painkiller needs
This trial studies whether a cannabis extract can reduce acute nerve-related pain in the back and lessen how much pain medication you need. It may help people with a short-term episode of “shooting” nerve pain from the spine.
JerusalemAges 18–70 - NCT06027099RecruitingPhase 3
Testing tizanidine to help reduce opioids after surgery
This study tests whether adding a low-dose muscle relaxant (tizanidine) to your pain plan after surgery can help you safely lower your opioid use. It's for people who have been on long-term opioids and are having surgery at specific hospitals.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT06023706RecruitingPhase 3
Capsaicin patch for tailbone pain
This trial tests a capsaicin 8% patch — a pain-relieving skin patch — to see if it can reduce tailbone pain that has lasted more than 3 months. You may be eligible if you have tried other treatments without success and have nerve-related pain symptoms.
BrestAges 18 years+ - NCT05983263Recruiting
Testing capsaicin patch for tailbone pain
This study looks at how well a capsaicin 8% patch (QUTENZA®) works for pain in the tailbone area (coccygodygnia). It reviews past medical records of people who already received this treatment.
NantesAges Any age - NCT05997979RecruitingPhase 3
Capsaicin patch for nerve pain in children after surgery or injury
This trial tests whether a capsaicin 8% skin patch can safely reduce nerve pain in children ages 12 to 17 who have had pain for more than 3 months after surgery or an injury. The patch is applied to the painful area and may offer relief without daily pills.
AmiensAges 12–17 - NCT05821517RecruitingPhase 4
Breathing or virtual reality to treat shoulder dislocation pain
This trial compares two ways to help control pain after an anterior (front) shoulder dislocation: methoxyflurane breathing and a virtual reality headset, versus usual pain treatment. It may help some people by making pain control easier during treatment.
NiceAges 18 years+ - NCT05722002RecruitingPhase 4
Compare pain-med plans after low-risk surgery
This study tests which pain-medication plan works best and has the fewest side effects after certain low-risk surgeries. You may be assigned to receive opioid-based, NSAID-based, or acetaminophen-based pain control depending on your situation.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT05602636RecruitingPhase 4
Nerve-block pain options during forearm surgery
This trial compares three ways to control pain during forearm surgery: different nerve blocks versus using a PCA pain pump. It may help find the approach that gives better pain relief and comfort after surgery, especially for longer procedures.
DamiettaAges 18–70 - NCT04985695Recruiting
Different pain-control methods after major belly surgery
This trial studies whether one pain-control method after midline belly surgery helps your recovery and rehabilitation. You may receive different approaches to pain relief, and the study compares how well you do after surgery.
Metz, MoselleAges 18 years+ - NCT05289999Recruiting
Virtual reality for pain and anxiety during back injections

Le MansAges 18 years+ - NCT04811209Recruiting
Testing better pain control and recovery after orthopedic surgery
This trial looks at how well a pain-control plan works after certain orthopedic surgeries and how it affects recovery and patient-reported outcomes. It may help determine what level of pain relief is meaningful to patients after surgery.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–80 - NCT03593408Recruiting
Study drug levels in children on ECMO
This study measures how sedating and pain medicines move through the body in children who are supported by ECMO (a heart-lung machine). It may help doctors choose safer and more effective dosing for sedation and pain control during ECMO.
Boston, MassachusettsAges birth–17 years - NCT04633603Enrolling by invitation

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for analgesics?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 143 recruiting analgesics studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a analgesics trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a analgesics trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
