Testing pain-sensing to predict treatment response in chronic pancreatitis
This study uses a special pain-testing method to better predict how people with chronic pancreatitis-related pain (or similar conditions) will respond to treatment. It may help doctors choose therapies that work better for each person’s type of pain.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05816798RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Laser treatment to reduce chronic knee pain before weight-surgery
This trial tests whether photobiomodulation (a type of laser/light therapy) can reduce chronic pain in both knees for people preparing for bariatric (weight-loss) surgery. If you have knee pain that limits daily life, the treatment may help you feel better while you’re in the pre-surgery rehabilitation period.
Goiânia, GoiásAges 18–70 - NCT06509087Recruiting
Combining CT and MRI for joint pain procedure
This study tests a procedure called transarterial microembolization for chronic shoulder or knee pain that hasn't improved with other treatments. It uses both CT and MRI to guide the procedure and see if it can help reduce pain.
TaipeiAges 20–80 - NCT05700682Recruiting
MRI-guided artery blockage procedure for long-term joint pain
This study tests whether an MRI scan that looks at blood flow can help target a joint embolization procedure to reduce chronic shoulder, hip, or knee pain. It first uses MRI to find signs of increased blood flow, then may use the findings to guide treatment if you qualify.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 25–80 - NCT06105788Recruiting
Exercise and pain relief for knee arthritis
This study looks at how moving your arms and legs might help reduce pain for people with knee osteoarthritis. If you join, you will do some light exercise so researchers can see if it helps your knee feel better.
El Paso, TexasAges 45–90 - NCT06514755Recruiting
Nerve block before artery treatment for knee pain
This study tests a two-step procedure for long-term knee pain that hasn't improved with other treatments. First, the nerves around the knee are numbed, and then the small arteries feeding the painful area are blocked. The goal is to see if doing the nerve treatment before the artery treatment works better for reducing pain.
ZagazigAges 18–80 - NCT06585033Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation for pain after back surgery
This trial tests how much of the pain relief from spinal cord stimulation is due to the placebo effect. It is for people with ongoing leg pain after back surgery who have already tried other treatments without success.
ArnhemAges 18–70 - NCT06847360Recruiting
Home-based ear stimulation for IBS pain
This trial tests a gentle, non-invasive ear stimulation device (taVNS) used at home to reduce pain from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). It might help if you have moderate pain most days.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18–29 - NCT06968689Recruiting
Brain activity study for experimental and chronic pain
This study uses MRI and EEG to look at brain connections involved in pain. It may help us understand how the brain processes pain and could lead to better treatments.
Houston, TexasAges 18–60 - NCT07049029Recruiting
Physical activity and pain resilience study for teens
This study tests if physical activity can help teenagers with chronic pain feel better and be more active. It may help you learn ways to manage pain.
Columbus, OhioAges 12–17 - NCT06471920Recruiting
Telerehab for chronic low back pain in rural areas
This study tests whether a video-based physical therapy program can help people with chronic low back pain who live in rural areas. If you qualify, you'll get telerehabilitation (rehab done at home through video calls) to reduce pain and improve function.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07636967Recruiting
Ankle Muscle Strength in Chronic Low Back Pain
This study measures the strength and function of ankle muscles in people with chronic low back pain lasting over 3 months. Understanding how ankle muscles work may help explain why some people develop long-term low back pain.
Tanta, Gharbia GovernorateAges 20–25 - NCT07551323Recruiting
Myofascial Release vs. Pilates for Chronic Low Back Pain
This study compares two hands-on treatment approaches—myofascial release (deep tissue massage) and Pilates exercises—to see which works better for chronic low back pain that isn't caused by nerve damage. If you have persistent lower-back pain, this trial might help you find relief through one of these therapies.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 18–45 - NCT07244913Recruiting
Tools for chronic low back pain relief
This trial compares two types of handheld tools—one with metal instruments and one that uses sound waves—to see which works better for long-term low back pain. It may help if you have had pain for at least 6 months and feel tightness in your hamstrings.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 40–55 - NCT07602595Recruiting
Understanding pain after childhood rheumatic disease or surgery
This study helps researchers learn how young adults (ages 14–26) who had rheumatic disease or orthopedic surgery as children experience pain over time. By understanding your story, the study may help doctors better support others facing similar challenges.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 14–26 - NCT07048366Recruiting
Mindfulness in a museum for fibromyalgia pain relief
This study tests whether a mindfulness program held in a museum setting can help women with fibromyalgia feel less pain and improve their quality of life. You would attend sessions in a museum and practice mindfulness techniques.
Chieti, AbruzzoAges 18–60 - NCT07429773Recruiting
Immune markers in stubborn pelvic pain
This study looks at the immune system's response in people with chronic pelvic pain that hasn't gotten better with first treatments. By measuring certain immune markers, the researchers hope to better understand why the pain persists and find new ways to help.
Nice, Alpes-MaritimesAges 18–40 - NCT07064174Recruiting
Sickle cell kidney research study
This study collects kidney tissue samples from people with sickle cell disease and healthy volunteers to better understand how sickle cell affects the kidneys. If you have sickle cell disease or a related blood disorder, you may help researchers find new ways to protect kidney function.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–65 - NCT03168802Recruiting
Ultrasound and nerve treatment for facet-joint low back pain
This study tests whether a procedure that uses focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) and/or a radiofrequency nerve treatment can reduce long-lasting low back pain caused by facet-joint arthritis. It may help people whose pain improves strongly after a targeted numbing injection to specific back nerves.
Taipei, Please SelectAges 20–79 - NCT06619418Recruiting
