Antalya, MuratpaşaAges 18–65 - NCT07551401Recruiting
Music, breathing, and virtual reality for cesarean recovery
This study tests whether music therapy, breathing exercises, and virtual reality can help women feel better and recover faster after a cesarean section. It may reduce pain and improve digestion after birth.
Konya, KonyaAges 18 years+ - NCT07556952RecruitingPhase 4
Dexamethasone to reduce pain after breast removal surgery
This study tests whether dexamethasone (a common anti-inflammatory medication) can reduce pain after mastectomy (surgical removal of breast tissue). Researchers want to see if it helps patients recover with less pain and potentially fewer pain medications.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18–75 - NCT07555795Recruiting
Game-Based Wearable Sensors to Help Core Muscles and Back Pain
This study tests a wearable belt with sensors and haptic feedback (gentle vibrations) combined with interactive gaming to help strengthen your core muscles and reduce lower back pain. The goal is to make exercise more engaging and effective for chronic back pain.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT07555496Recruiting
Back Pain Treatment After Spine Surgery: Injection vs. Needling
This study compares two ways to treat long-lasting back pain in people who have had spine surgery: injections into the back muscles versus dry needling (inserting thin needles into tight muscles). Both are combined with physical therapy to see which helps reduce pain better.
St-MaloAges 18 years+ - 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 6–12 - NCT07543692Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided injection therapy for spine pain
This study tests whether using ultrasound imaging to guide a special injection treatment (pharmacopuncture) is safe and effective for people with spine-related neck or lower back pain that radiates into the arms or legs. The treatment is already being offered as routine care, and this study tracks how well it works.

- How do I know if I qualify for a 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 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.
