MRI-guided brain procedure for stubborn nerve pain
This trial tests a brain treatment guided by MRI to treat chronic nerve (neuropathic) pain that hasn’t improved with many prior treatments. It may help reduce pain intensity when standard pain medicines and procedures have not worked.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - 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 - NCT05351801RecruitingPhase 2
Test cannabis-based treatment for nerve pain
This Phase 2 study tests cannabis-derived products to see if they reduce neuropathic (nerve-related) pain in veterans. It may help people whose pain is persistent and causes significant daily impact, especially if certain exam tests show allodynia (pain from normally non-painful touch).
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 21 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 - NCT05968664Recruiting
Test whether new spinal cord stimulation settings improve chronic pain
This trial studies whether changing the “stimulation pattern” of spinal cord stimulation can reduce long-lasting pain and improve daily function. You might be a good candidate if you have chronic trunk or leg pain and have already tried multiple pain treatments without enough relief.
Houston, TexasAges 22 years+ - NCT06237075Recruiting
Brain imaging and mild stimulation for nerve pain
This study uses brain imaging (fMRI) and a mild electrical stimulation (tDCS) to understand and potentially help nerve pain. You may be eligible if you have nerve pain or numbness from peripheral neuropathy or a stroke, and can avoid caffeine/alcohol before visits.
TaipeiAges 20–90 - NCT06443281Recruiting
Understanding pain after spinal cord injury or nerve damage
This study is looking at how people with spinal cord injuries or peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage outside the spine) experience pain. The goal is to better understand the different types of pain, which could help doctors create more personalized treatments in the future.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges 18–80 - NCT06731335RecruitingPhase 2
Psilocybin for chronic nerve pain that hasn't improved with other treatments
This study tests whether psilocybin (a compound found in certain mushrooms) can help reduce chronic nerve pain that has not responded well to standard medications. You will receive study treatment plus psychotherapy to see if it improves your pain.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–65 - NCT06766916RecruitingPhase 2
Testing Crisugabalin for nerve pain after radiation
This trial tests a drug called Crisugabalin to see if it helps people with nerve pain caused by radiation treatment for head and neck cancer. The study aims to find a better way to manage this type of pain that does not go away.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18 years+ - NCT06848348RecruitingPhase 2
Halneuron for chemotherapy-induced nerve pain
This trial tests whether the drug Halneuron can safely reduce nerve pain caused by common chemotherapy drugs (platinum and taxane). It is for people whose nerve pain started after chemotherapy and whose cancer is not currently getting worse.
Sheffield, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06964243Recruiting
Brain stimulation for nerve pain relief
This trial tests if mild magnetic pulses to the brain area controlling movement can safely reduce nerve pain from damaged peripheral nerves.
Créteil, Île-de-France RegionAges 18–80 - 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+ - NCT07148388Recruiting
Accelerated TMS for nerve pain relief
This trial tests a faster type of brain stimulation (AiTBS) for people with nerve pain. If you have had nerve pain for at least three months and it is moderately severe, this non-invasive treatment might help reduce your pain.
HangzhouAges 18 years+ - NCT07401966Recruiting
Amputation in childhood and nerve pain study
This study looks at nerve pain in children and teens who had an amputation before a certain age. It aims to understand how common and how severe this pain is after amputation, and uses simple questionnaires to find out.
Saint-MauriceAges 5–18 - NCT07596823Recruiting
Blood counts and nerve pain relief after a nerve block
This study looks at how blood cell counts change when you receive a nerve-blocking injection for neuropathic pain (nerve damage pain). Researchers want to understand if these blood changes can predict how well the injection will help your pain.
Ankara, CankayaAges 18 years+ - NCT07046143Enrolling by invitation
Spinal cord stimulation for nerve pain in the lower back
This trial tests a non-invasive treatment that uses mild electrical stimulation on the skin over the spine to help relieve nerve-related pain in the lower back. It may be an option for people with chronic nerve pain, with or without pain spreading down the leg.
Nanchang, JiangxiAges 18–80 - NCT04936646Recruiting
Brain stimulation study for long-term nerve pain
This trial tests whether a form of brain stimulation (rTMS) can reduce chronic nerve pain that has lasted more than a year and hasn’t improved with standard treatments. It may help people whose usual pain medicines are stable but still not working well.
Grenoble, IsèreAges 18–80 - NCT07154056Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation for stubborn nerve pain
