Recruiting studies
- NCT06287736Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation for diabetic nerve pain
This study tests whether a spinal cord stimulator (a device that uses mild electrical pulses to block pain signals) can help people with diabetic nerve pain that hasn't responded to other treatments. If you have long-term nerve pain from diabetes and other pain meds haven't worked, this trial might be an option for you.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06490484RecruitingPhase 2
A new capsule for diabetic nerve pain when pregabalin doesn't work
This trial tests an experimental drug (HSK16149) for people with long-term diabetic nerve pain that hasn't been helped enough by pregabalin. It aims to see if the new capsule can reduce pain more effectively.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT07405021Recruiting
Vagus nerve stimulation for diabetic nerve pain
This trial tests whether using a non-invasive device to stimulate the vagus nerve can reduce nerve pain and improve function in people with diabetic neuropathy. It may be a good option if you have burning or electric-shock-like foot pain despite standard diabetes care.
DamiettaAges 45–60 - NCT06914557RecruitingPhase 2
Scrambler therapy plus duloxetine for chemo nerve pain
This study tests whether adding a non-invasive device called Scrambler Therapy to the usual nerve pain medicine (duloxetine) can better relieve chemotherapy-induced nerve pain. It is for people with cancer who still have significant nerve pain despite taking duloxetine.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07239700Enrolling by invitation
Buzzy and TickleFlex for easier insulin shots in kids
This study tests two devices, Buzzy and TickleFlex, to see if they can reduce pain and fear during insulin injections in children with type 1 diabetes. It may help make daily injections more comfortable.
Hakkari, CentreAges 6–12 - NCT07304401Recruiting
Closed-loop spinal cord stimulation for chemo-related nerve pain
This trial tests whether a new type of spinal cord stimulator (SCS) can reduce pain caused by chemotherapy. If you have lasting nerve pain after cancer treatment and standard pain medications haven't helped, this device might offer relief.
ArnhemAges 18 years+ - NCT05577390Recruiting
Comparing two treatments for diabetic nerve pain
This study compares two approaches to treating nerve pain caused by diabetes. You may be eligible if your diabetic neuropathy is moderate to severe and you can reliably use a phone for study steps.
Loma Linda, CaliforniaAges 45–85 - NCT06527183Recruiting
Fibromyalgia and small fiber nerve study
This study looks at whether people with fibromyalgia or long-term chronic pain have damage to the small nerve fibers in their skin. Understanding this could help develop better treatments.
Boulogne-BillancourtAges 18 years+ - NCT06452914Recruiting
Testing therapeutic socks for diabetic nerve pain
This study tests special socks with tiny electronic parts to see if they can reduce nerve pain, numbness, and tingling in people with diabetic neuropathy. If you have mild to moderate symptoms and are not taking new medications for it, you may be able to join.
Roswell, GeorgiaAges 18–79 - NCT07496398Recruiting
Nerve function study in tattoo artists
This study looks at how tattooing may affect the nerves in the arm and hand. It compares tattoo artists to healthy people to see if the vibrations from tattoo machines cause any changes in nerve function.
AnkaraAges 18 years+ - NCT07352514Recruiting
Natural supplements and exercise for chemo nerve pain
This study tests if a combination of two natural supplements (PEA and Scutellaria) plus a specific exercise program can help reduce nerve pain caused by chemotherapy. It is for people who have had chemotherapy in the last 6 months and still have moderate to severe nerve pain.
Palermo, ItaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT06361108RecruitingPhase 1
Spray study for diabetic nerve pain in feet
This study tests a new spray medication (YJ001) applied to the feet to see if it is safe and helps reduce pain in people with diabetic peripheral neuropathy. You may qualify if you have diabetes, stable blood sugar, and moderate to severe nerve pain in your feet.
Fredericksburg, TexasAges 18–80 - NCT06834685Recruiting
Laser therapy for nerve pain after chemotherapy
This study tests a special laser treatment (photobiomodulation) to reduce nerve pain caused by chemotherapy in cancer patients. If you have had nerve pain for at least 3 months after chemo and can attend twice-weekly sessions, this may help ease your pain.
Mougins, Alpes MaritimesAges 18 years+ - NCT06778005Recruiting
Ultrasound of leg nerves in type 2 diabetes with nerve damage
This study uses ultrasound (an imaging test) to measure the nerves in the legs of people with type 2 diabetes who have nerve damage. It helps doctors learn more about how diabetes affects nerves.
Istanbul, ÜsküdarAges 18–65 - NCT07072468RecruitingPhase 2
Test of a gel for nerve pain after chemotherapy
This study tests a new gel (VMD-3866) applied to the skin to treat moderate nerve pain, numbness, or tingling caused by previous chemotherapy. It aims to see if the gel can safely reduce pain for people whose symptoms have been stable for at least 8 weeks.
London, UKAges 18–80 - NCT07602387Recruiting
Capsaicin cream for chemo-related nerve pain in legs
This study tests whether an 8% capsaicin cream (a chili-pepper derived treatment) can help reduce nerve pain and numbness in the legs caused by cancer chemotherapy drugs (taxanes). The cream is applied directly to affected areas, and the research team will track whether it improves your symptoms and pain levels over time.
Boulogne-Billancourt, HAUTS DE SEINEAges 18 years+ - NCT07001111Recruiting
Taping therapy for cubital tunnel syndrome pain
This trial tests if a special tape placed on the arm can help reduce pain and improve symptoms in people with cubital tunnel syndrome. It may be a good option if you have arm pain and have not had surgery or certain injections recently.
Istanbul, UskudarAges 18–65

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for painful diabetic neuropathy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 65 recruiting painful diabetic neuropathy 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 painful diabetic neuropathy 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 painful diabetic neuropathy 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.
