Recruiting studies
- NCT07209514Enrolling by invitation
Testing a spinal cord stimulator for diabetic nerve pain in the legs
This trial is studying a device called the Medtronic Inceptiv™ Closed-Loop DTM Spinal Cord Stimulator to see if it can help reduce pain from diabetic peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage caused by diabetes) in the lower legs. It is for people whose pain has lasted at least 6 months and hasn't been helped by other treatments.
Grand Island, NebraskaAges 19 years+ - NCT07195045Recruiting
Thai PainPREDICT validation study for diabetes nerve pain
This study tests a tool (PainPREDICT) to predict nerve pain in people with diabetes. It aims to identify those at risk so treatment can start early.
Pathum Wan, BangkokAges 18 years+ - NCT07125027Recruiting
Exercise and mindfulness for sciatica pain
This study tests a program called Move-MORE that combines exercise and mindfulness to help people with nerve-related leg pain (sciatica) that has lasted at least 3 months. You would use the program at home, attend weekly video sessions for 8 weeks, and complete questionnaires and daily surveys to see if the program improves your pain and quality of life.
Portland, OregonAges 18–75 - NCT07061769Enrolling by invitation
Using a gentle head device to help with nerve pain from chemo
This trial tests a low-intensity cranial PEMF device to see if it can reduce nerve pain caused by chemotherapy. Participants use the device at home and receive text messages to track their symptoms.
Newport Beach, CaliforniaAges 18–60 - 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.

Study of suzetrigine for painful diabetic nerve damage
This trial tests an experimental medicine called suzetrigine to see if it can safely reduce pain caused by nerve damage from diabetes (diabetic peripheral neuropathy). It might be an option if you have had daily pain in both legs and current treatments haven't worked well enough.

VX-993 for diabetic nerve pain
This trial tests a new medicine called VX-993 for people with diabetes who have had nerve pain in both feet or legs for at least a year. The goal is to see if it reduces pain and is safe.
Cullman, AlabamaAges 18–80 - NCT06603792Recruiting
Brain training for diabetic nerve pain
This study tests whether a brain training method called neurofeedback can help reduce nerve pain caused by diabetes. It may offer a new, non-drug way to manage pain.
OdenseAges 18–82 - 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 - NCT06540456Enrolling by invitation
Capsaicin patch for nerve-related lower back pain
This study tests a medicated patch called Qutenza (capsaicin) to treat chronic lower back pain that involves nerve damage. The patch is placed on the skin to help reduce pain signals.
Summerville, South CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06518720RecruitingPhase 2
Psilocybin for Chronic Nerve Pain and Depression
This trial tests whether psilocybin (a psychedelic medication) can help people who have both chronic nerve pain and depression that hasn't responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if it can reduce pain and improve mood.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–65 - 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+ - NCT06209645Recruiting
Personalized brain stimulation for stubborn nerve pain relief
This study tests a non-invasive, personalized brain stimulation technique to reduce nerve pain that has not responded to standard treatments. It may be a good option if you have had nerve pain for over a year and have already tried other pain medications without enough relief.
BronAges 18–80 - NCT06216717Recruiting
Study of electrode location for brain stimulation in chronic pain
This study looks at where electrodes are placed in the brain for people who have a device that stimulates the motor cortex to treat chronic nerve pain. The goal is to help improve how these devices are positioned for better pain relief.
Nice, Alpes MaritimesAges 18 years+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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 - NCT05811312Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation and brain changes in chronic pain
This study uses non-invasive brain monitoring to see how spinal cord stimulation may change brain activity in people with chronic nerve pain. It aims to better understand how treatment affects the brain and pain over time.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT05653778Recruiting
Nerve-stimulation treatment for painful corticobasal syndrome
This trial tests “scrambler therapy,” a type of skin-based nerve stimulation, to reduce ongoing pain from corticobasal syndrome. You may be eligible if your average pain is moderate to severe and you can safely take part in the treatment schedule.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 50–89 - NCT05623111RecruitingPhase 2
Nerve-area Botox shots for diabetic foot nerve pain
This Phase 2 trial tests whether injecting incobotulinumtoxin-A near painful nerves can reduce nerve-type pain in the feet for people with diabetes. If you have lasting, fairly symmetrical pain in both feet, the injections may help calm the nerve pain signals.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for pain (visceral, somatic, or neuropathic)?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 251 recruiting pain (visceral, somatic, or neuropathic) 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 pain (visceral, somatic, or neuropathic) 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 pain (visceral, somatic, or neuropathic) 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.
