Recruiting studies
- NCT07038434Recruiting
Using artificial intelligence to measure pain in chronic pain patients
This study uses artificial intelligence to better understand and measure pain in people with chronic pain. The goal is to develop smarter ways to assess pain automatically, which could lead to better treatment.
Salerno, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT06994559Recruiting

This study tests if listening to music during ketamine infusions helps reduce chronic pain better than ketamine alone. It is for people already getting ketamine infusions for non-cancer pain.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT06741579RecruitingPhase 3
Pain relief study for nerve injury pain
This trial tests how well two types of peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) devices relieve chronic pain caused by a single nerve injury. It looks for people who already have a referral for PNS therapy as part of their usual care and who have gotten at least 50% relief from a diagnostic nerve block.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06518720RecruitingPhase 2
Psilocybin for Chronic Nerve Pain and Depression
This trial tests whether psilocybin (a psychedelic medication) can help people who have both chronic nerve pain and depression that hasn't responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if it can reduce pain and improve mood.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–65 - NCT05754190Recruiting
Smartphone study of mood and symptoms in people with pain
This study uses a smartphone app to track daily pain and mood changes over about 4 months. It’s meant to learn patterns that could help better understand how mood and pain affect each other.
Providence, Rhode IslandAges 18 years+ - NCT06216717Recruiting
Study of electrode location for brain stimulation in chronic pain
This study looks at where electrodes are placed in the brain for people who have a device that stimulates the motor cortex to treat chronic nerve pain. The goal is to help improve how these devices are positioned for better pain relief.
Nice, Alpes MaritimesAges 18 years+ - NCT05986292RecruitingPhase 2
Study of new pain treatments for chronic pain
This study tests new treatments for people with chronic pain that has lasted at least 12 weeks. It aims to find better ways to reduce pain and improve quality of life.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT05864053RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Ketamine medicine trial for chronic nerve pain in adults
This Phase 1/2 study tests hydroxynorketamine (a related ketamine-type medicine) to see if it can reduce chronic nerve pain in the arms or legs. You may be able to join if you have nerve pain for more than 3 months and meet safety and health check requirements.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–75 - NCT05701852Recruiting
Study brain scans during tasks in chronic nerve pain
This study looks at how brain activity changes in people with long-lasting nerve pain using an MRI scan while you do simple behavioral tasks. It may help researchers understand brain function in chronic neuropathic pain and how it affects day-to-day abilities.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT05404581Recruiting
Insula brain stimulation for long-term nerve pain
This trial tests whether stimulating a specific brain area (the insula) can reduce chronic nerve pain. It is for people whose pain has lasted at least 6 months and has not improved enough with several pain medicines and other procedures.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 18–80 - NCT05204472Recruiting
Deep brain stimulation for ongoing nerve pain after stroke or facial nerve issues
This trial studies whether a special brain device (deep brain stimulation, or DBS) can reduce long-lasting nerve pain. It focuses on one-sided pain after certain brain injuries or specific facial nerve pain causes, especially when medicines haven’t helped enough.
BernAges 18–75 - NCT05196503RecruitingPhase 3
PRF gel in spine surgery to reduce nerve pain after herniation
This Phase 3 study tests whether applying a healing material called platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) around the nerve during disc herniation surgery can reduce leftover nerve pain afterward. If you qualify, your team will compare pain intensity between standard care and PRF during the operation.
Strasbourg, Bas-RhinAges 18 years+ - NCT03852381Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation for nerve pain after back surgery
This study looks at how spinal cord stimulation (a device that sends mild signals to the spinal cord) affects nerve pain after lumbar surgery. It also aims to help predict who is most likely to improve and why, comparing patients with and without certain sensory symptoms.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–80 - NCT05483816Recruiting
Sensory stimulation trial for nerve pain in people with neuropathy
This study tests a multi-sensory (multiple-sense) stimulation approach to see if it can help people with nerve-related pain in the legs/feet. You must be able to safely take part in MRI-related sessions and answer questions about pain and health history.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges 18–80 - NCT05505188Recruiting
Predicting long-term pain after head and neck radiotherapy
This study looks for ways to predict and improve pain you may have months after radiotherapy for first head and neck cancer. It may help doctors better anticipate pain and support patients during recovery.
CaenAges 18 years+ - NCT04673981Recruiting
Follow-up study for oral and throat cancer pain
This study looks at nerve-related symptoms and pain in the mouth and throat in people who have been treated for oral or oropharynx cancer. You may be able to take part if you’re within 1 to 5 years after treatment and can follow study steps.
Clermont-FerrandAges 18 years+ - NCT05700279Recruiting
PTSD treatment to help prevent future chronic pain
This study tests whether treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) right when you come to the emergency room for new, acute pain can lower the chance you develop long-term (chronic) pain. It may help people whose pain and trauma symptoms start around the same time.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–70 - NCT06092749Recruiting
A new treatment for chronic leg and back pain
This trial tests a procedure for people with long-standing leg and back pain that hasn't improved with standard treatments like physical therapy or pain medicine.

San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06969456Recruiting
Exercise and nerve stimulation for chronic back pain
This study looks at whether combining exercise with a type of nerve stimulation (called neuromodulation) can help people with long-term spinal pain that has nerve involvement. It may be an option if you have had pain for at least 6 months and it is severe.
Valencia, ValenciaAges 18–70 - NCT06129890Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for chronic neuropathic pain?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 112 recruiting chronic neuropathic pain 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 chronic neuropathic pain 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 chronic neuropathic pain 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.
