Recruiting studies
- NCT06438471RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a new drug for nerve pain after spinal cord injury

Study of new treatments for chronic pain
This study tests new treatments for chronic pain that lasts at least 3 months. Participants must stop their regular pain medicines and use only a rescue painkiller if needed. The goal is to find better ways to manage long-term pain.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07342777Recruiting
Exercise for Pain Relief in Multiple Sclerosis
This study tests whether exercise can help reduce pain in people with multiple sclerosis. If you have MS and moderate to severe pain, you may be asked to participate in a supervised exercise program.
Aarhus, DenmarkAges 18 years+ - NCT06430918Enrolling by invitation
Nerve pain and sleep quality in knee osteoarthritis
This study looks at how nerve pain and sleep quality are related in people with knee osteoarthritis. It aims to help doctors better understand and treat pain.
IzmirAges 18–80 - NCT07356115Recruiting
Pain patterns and pain location in muscle and sports clinics
This study looks at whether people's pain patterns—measured by a simple questionnaire called PainDETECT—are linked to where their pain is and what caused it. It may help doctors better understand and treat different types of pain.
IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT06398847Recruiting
Virtual reality self-hypnosis for HIV-related pain
This study tests if using a virtual reality (VR) headset for self-hypnosis can help people with HIV manage chronic pain. You would practice at home with a smartphone app, and researchers will track your pain levels over time.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04299893RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Ozone treatment for chemotherapy nerve pain
This trial tests whether ozone therapy can reduce painful nerve damage caused by chemotherapy. It is for adults with ongoing moderate-to-severe pain in the hands or feet after chemotherapy.
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Las PalmasAges 18–100 - NCT06092749Recruiting
A new treatment for chronic leg and back pain
This trial tests a procedure for people with long-standing leg and back pain that hasn't improved with standard treatments like physical therapy or pain medicine.
CairoAges 21 years+ - NCT06724029Recruiting
Neurosurgery outcomes research for multiple conditions
This study collects data from people having brain or spine surgery for many different conditions. It aims to understand how well different treatments work and how people recover. If you are scheduled for certain brain, spine, or nerve surgeries, you may be able to join.
Bergamo, BGAges 18 years+ - NCT06869928Recruiting
Pain and irritability pathway for children with neurological conditions
This study tests a special care plan for children who have both a significant neurological condition and unexplained pain or irritability. The goal is to help families and doctors work together to better understand and manage these distressing symptoms.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 6 months–18 years - NCT06158529Recruiting
High-frequency spinal cord stimulation for diabetic nerve pain
This trial tests if a special type of spinal cord stimulation (high-frequency SCS) can better relieve painful nerve damage caused by diabetes. If you have long-term burning, stabbing, or electric-shock-like pain in both legs, this treatment may help reduce that pain.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT06596681RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Study of GA for hard-to-treat nerve pain
This early-phase trial tests a new treatment called GA for people with hard-to-treat neuropathic pain that hasn't improved with standard therapies. The goal is to see if it is safe and tolerable.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT06185816RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Non-invasive pulsed radiofrequency for nerve pain
This trial tests a non-invasive treatment called pulsed radiofrequency for people with chronic nerve pain after an injury. It uses a device that sends short bursts of energy to the painful area to help reduce pain without surgery.
Redwood City, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03852381Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation for nerve pain after back surgery
This study looks at how spinal cord stimulation (a device that sends mild signals to the spinal cord) affects nerve pain after lumbar surgery. It also aims to help predict who is most likely to improve and why, comparing patients with and without certain sensory symptoms.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–80 - NCT05701852Recruiting
Study brain scans during tasks in chronic nerve pain
This study looks at how brain activity changes in people with long-lasting nerve pain using an MRI scan while you do simple behavioral tasks. It may help researchers understand brain function in chronic neuropathic pain and how it affects day-to-day abilities.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT05997979RecruitingPhase 3
Capsaicin patch for nerve pain in children after surgery or injury
This trial tests whether a capsaicin 8% skin patch can safely reduce nerve pain in children ages 12 to 17 who have had pain for more than 3 months after surgery or an injury. The patch is applied to the painful area and may offer relief without daily pills.
AmiensAges 12–17 - NCT07054450Enrolling by invitation
Assessment and rehabilitation for chronic pinched nerve in the neck
This trial tests a program of assessment and rehabilitation (including physical exercise and possibly a nutraceutical supplement) for people with chronic cervical radiculopathy — a pinched nerve in the neck causing pain, numbness, or weakness in the arm. It may help reduce pain and improve function without surgery.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for neuropathic pain?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 157 recruiting neuropathic 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 neuropathic 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 neuropathic 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.
