Seoul, Gangnam-GuAges 19–69 - NCT06644807Recruiting
Neuromodulation for phantom limb pain after amputation
This trial tests a new approach to suppress phantom limb pain using neuromodulation methods. It may help people who have had a limb amputated and continue to experience persistent pain.
Moscow, MoscowAges 18–65 - NCT06702904Recruiting
Neuroprosthesis for phantom limb pain relief
This study tests a new type of artificial limb (neuroprosthesis) that sends signals back to your brain to help reduce phantom limb pain and improve your daily life. You may be able to join if you have had an arm or leg amputation at least 6 months ago and have persistent pain.
MoscowAges 18–65 - NCT05617365RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study treatment for chronic neck-related head and neck pain
This early-stage study tests a new treatment for people (women) who have long-lasting headaches and pain coming from the neck. It may help reduce symptoms, but you must match specific safety and diagnosis requirements.
East Lansing, MichiganAges 18–65 - NCT05066334RecruitingPhase 2
Back pain trial using your own stem cells in discs
This Phase 2 trial tests whether injecting your own stem cells into a few back discs can reduce chronic low back pain that has not improved with standard treatments. It may help by targeting disc-related (degenerative) wear seen on MRI, but it requires detailed MRI and blood test screening.
Roma, ItalyAges 18–65 - NCT06847295Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation for standing and walking after paralysis
This trial tests if a device that sends mild electrical pulses to the spinal cord, combined with daily therapy, can help people with chronic spinal cord injury regain some ability to stand or walk. It also looks at reducing muscle spasms and improving quality of life.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18–50 - NCT05411523Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation study for long-term chemotherapy nerve pain
This trial tests whether spinal cord stimulation can reduce pain and improve quality of life in people with long-lasting nerve pain from chemotherapy (CIPN). You must already have tried at least two nerve-pain medicines and still have significant pain, and you must have had a successful spinal cord stimulator test before joining.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT04730700Recruiting
Radiofrequency treatment test for facet back pain
This study compares a nerve procedure (radiofrequency “neurotomy” using an expandable electrode) to non-procedure medical care for long-lasting low back pain from facet joints. It aims to see whether the procedure helps more safely than conservative treatment.
Kansas City, KansasAges 18 years+ - NCT04085406Recruiting

Dhaka, UttaraAges 18–65 - NCT05149573Recruiting
PEMF therapy for women with painful bladder symptoms
This trial studies whether a device that uses gentle pulsed electromagnetic waves (PEMF) can reduce symptoms in women with interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS). It may help if your symptoms are currently fairly severe and ongoing.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 18–80 - NCT06312696Recruiting
Neck movement study with spinal manipulation therapy

Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18–39 - NCT07046143Enrolling by invitation
Spinal cord stimulation for nerve pain in the lower back

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for chronic spinal pain?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 253 recruiting chronic spinal 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 spinal 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 spinal 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.
