Pain relief and early movement for older ICU patients
This study tests different ways to manage pain and help older patients get moving again sooner after major surgery. If you are 65 or older and in the ICU, this trial may help you recover more comfortably and quickly.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 65 years+ - NCT04699734Recruiting
Nerve block for nerve pain from diabetes
This trial studies whether a numbing “nerve block” can reduce long-lasting nerve pain caused by diabetic neuropathy. You may keep your usual pain medicines, and the study will mainly check whether you fit the safety and diagnosis criteria.
Aarhus N, JutlandAges 18 years+ - NCT07640516Recruiting
Pain Relief Comparison for Amputation Surgery in High-Risk Patients
This study compares two medications (dexmedetomidine and fentanyl) mixed with a numbing agent to see which works better for blocking pain during above-knee amputation surgery in patients with serious heart or lung disease. Both drugs are already used in anesthesia, and this trial tests which combination is safest and most effective for you.
CairoAges 18 years+ - NCT05335070RecruitingPhase 2
Study to reduce pain from wisdom tooth extractions
This Phase 2 study tests ways to reduce pain during and after wisdom (back) tooth extractions done with IV sedation. It may help you have a more comfortable experience by improving how pain is managed after the procedure.
Newark, New JerseyAges 18–64 - NCT05501262Recruiting
Cryoablation vs steroid injection for Morton’s neuroma pain
This trial compares two ways to treat Morton’s neuroma pain: freezing treatment (cryoablation) versus steroid plus lidocaine injections. It may help people who didn’t improve after trying basic shoe inserts or padding, by seeing which approach works better for symptoms.
Portland, OregonAges 18–105 - NCT05642026RecruitingPhase 4
Continuous nerve block for pain from multiple broken ribs
This study tests a continuous nerve block—a numbing medicine delivered near the nerves—to reduce pain from rib fractures. It may help people with two or more broken ribs manage pain more effectively while recovering.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for nerve block?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 226 recruiting nerve block 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 nerve block 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 nerve block 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.
