Recruiting studies in Texas
- NCT06544525Recruiting
Pain test to predict physical therapy results for back pain
This trial tests whether a simple pain test can predict how much you will improve with physical therapy for chronic low back pain. It looks at how your body naturally handles pain, which may help tailor your treatment.
Fort Sam Houston, TexasAges 18–64 - NCT06414356RecruitingPhase 4
Ketamine for nerve pain and PTSD in military personnel
This study tests whether ketamine infusions can help with ongoing nerve pain and PTSD symptoms. It's for active-duty service members, veterans, and retirees who have had moderate nerve pain for at least 3 months.
San Antonio, TexasAges 18–70 - NCT07632820RecruitingPhase 4
Nerve Block vs. Injection for Upper Back Muscle Pain
This study compares two ways to treat chronic muscle pain in the upper back: a nerve block (numbing injection near the spine) and trigger point injections (shots directly into painful muscle knots). The goal is to see which approach works better for long-lasting relief.
Houston, TexasAges 18–80 - NCT07285018RecruitingPhase 2
Study of a new drug for diabetic nerve pain in legs
This trial tests an investigational drug for people with pain caused by nerve damage from diabetes (diabetic peripheral neuropathy). It may help reduce pain in your lower legs if other treatments haven't worked well.
Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05050409Recruiting
Program to help recovery after knee replacement surgery
This trial tests a supportive, coach-like “embedded” program designed to help you stay engaged and ready for recovery after one knee replacement. It may be helpful if you want extra support before and after surgery to follow through with your recovery plan.
Fort Sam Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07016581Enrolling by invitation
Best length for a spinal cord stimulation test
This study is testing how long a spinal cord stimulation trial should last to best diagnose whether it will help your chronic pain. It compares different trial lengths to see which one gives the most accurate result.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03876054Recruiting
Tracking outcomes after Abbott neurostimulator implantation
This study follows people long-term after they get an Abbott device implanted to help with chronic pain. It aims to learn how well the therapy works in real-world care over time.
Round Rock, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04028687Recruiting
Study of a hip stem used in select adult hip replacements
This trial follows people who have had a hip replacement using a specific “Taperloc Complete” stem. It is meant to monitor outcomes after surgery and see how well the stem performs over time for certain non-infectious hip problems.
Plano, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05555485Recruiting
Check if ear stimulation can help chronic pain and reduce opioids
This study tests whether a device that stimulates the ear (through the skin) can reduce chronic pain and help people lower their opioid pain medicine. It may help you manage pain with less opioid use if you meet their safety and medication criteria.
Galveston, TexasAges 18–65 - NCT06587607Recruiting
VR mindfulness training for veterans with spinal cord injury
This study tests whether mindfulness training with virtual reality can help veterans with spinal cord injury manage chronic pain. It is done from home using a VR headset and group video calls.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT01550575Recruiting
Study of outcomes in people treated with Boston Scientific devices
This study looks back at what happened to patients after treatment (or if they could have used) Boston Scientific medical devices. It may help improve how these devices are used and understand real-world results.
Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07532070Recruiting
Exercise and Therapy for Chronic Pain and Sleep Problems
This study tests whether exercise, talk therapy for sleep problems, or both together can help people with long-term back, hip, or knee pain who also struggle with sleep. You'll attend video appointments and try one of these approaches for several weeks.
San Antonio, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04085406Recruiting
Deep brain stimulation for hard-to-treat low back pain
This trial studies deep brain stimulation (DBS) to reduce severe low back pain that hasn’t improved after many standard treatments and procedures. It may help people whose pain is long-lasting and not fixable with another surgery.

What taking part in a chronic pain study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.

Common questions
- Are there chronic pain clinical trials in Texas?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 37 recruiting chronic pain studies with a site in Texas, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a chronic pain study in Texas?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Texas to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Texas, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a chronic pain trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
