Recruiting studies
- NCT07058636Recruiting
Nerve block plus trigger point shots for neck pain relief
This study tests if adding a nerve block to standard trigger point injections provides better relief for people with chronic neck pain caused by myofascial pain syndrome.
AnkaraAges 18–65 - NCT07090551Recruiting
Mouthguard for jaw and neck muscle pain from grinding
This study tests whether a custom mouthguard (occlusal splint) can reduce pain and tension in the jaw and neck muscles. It is for people with bruxism (teeth grinding) and myofascial pain, a type of muscle pain in the jaw area.
IstanbulAges 18–50 - NCT07133139Recruiting
Dry needling for chronic low back pain
This study tests whether a treatment called dry needling (using thin needles on muscle knots) helps people with long-term low back pain tied to muscle tightness. It is for those who have not tried this treatment before and whose main pain is in the lower back.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 20–70 - NCT07750392Recruiting
Dry needling and gentle laser therapy for recent neck pain
This trial tests two therapies—dry needling (thin needles into muscle knots) and low-level laser/microcurrent (gentle energy) treatment—alone or combined, to relieve acute neck pain from muscle knots (myofascial pain). It aims to reduce pain and improve function for people with recent onset symptoms.
Denpasar, BaliAges 20–45 - NCT06899685Recruiting
Kinesio taping vs. tool-assisted massage for neck pain relief
This study compares two non-invasive treatments for neck pain caused by muscle knots in the upper trapezius (the muscle between your neck and shoulder). The goal is to see which approach better reduces pain, improves neck movement, and helps with daily function.
Banī SuwayfAges 19–23 - NCT06941636RecruitingPhase 3
Botox for jaw muscle pain from TMD
This trial tests whether Botox injections can reduce jaw and face muscle pain in people with temporomandibular disorders (TMD). It is for those who have had moderate to severe pain for at least 3 months and have not received Botox recently.
StockholmAges 18–50 - NCT06031571Recruiting
Cupping vs myofascial release for neck pain
This trial compares two hands-on treatments for long-term neck pain that isn't caused by injury or serious spine problems. It aims to see if dynamic cupping or myofascial release works better to relieve pain.
Qina, Qena GovernorateAges 18–40 - NCT07310823Enrolling by invitation
Manual therapy for neck-related headaches
This study tests if manual therapy (hands-on treatment) can help people whose headaches start from neck problems. If you have headaches at least once a week and limited neck movement, this trial may be an option.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for myofacial pain?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 8 recruiting myofacial 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 myofacial 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 myofacial 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.
