Konya, TurkeyAges 18–70 - NCT07573124Recruiting
Physical therapy techniques for lower back nerve pain
This study tests whether combining three physical therapy techniques—spine mobilization, leg movements, and spinal traction—can reduce pain and improve function in people with pinched nerves in the lower back caused by a bulging disc. If it works, it could offer a non-surgical treatment option.
Islamabad, CapitalAges 20–50 - NCT06932510Enrolling by invitation
Comparing inflatable collar to manual neck stretching
This study compares two ways to gently stretch the neck to relieve pain and numbness in the arm caused by a pinched nerve in the neck (cervical radiculopathy). It looks at whether a special inflatable neck collar or hands-on manual stretching works better to improve symptoms.
IslamabadAges 19–44 - NCT06795542Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Predicting success of epidural shots for leg pain from a slipped disc
This trial looks at what factors help predict whether a steroid injection into the spine (transforaminal epidural injection) will work for leg pain caused by a herniated disc. It aims to help doctors choose the best treatment for patients like you.
Sohag, Sohag GovernorateAges 18–60 - 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+ - NCT07498140Recruiting
Epidural steroid injection for leg and back pain
This study is testing a treatment that involves an injection to reduce nerve-related leg and back pain. It looks at how much information about the procedure affects a patient's outlook and pain relief.
Chicago, IllinoisAges Any age - NCT07696312Recruiting
Straight leg raise test accuracy for leg pain
This study checks how well the straight leg raise test can find the exact nerve causing your leg pain by comparing it with a targeted nerve block injection. It may help if you have leg pain from a pinched nerve in your lower back.
Istanbul, PENDİKAges 18–65 - NCT07222787Recruiting
Testing a new spinal implant for lower back fusion
This trial tests a new spinal implant system (CORUS-LX) for fusing two lower back discs that are causing pain. It is meant for people with severe, long-lasting back or leg pain that hasn't improved with non-surgical treatments.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18–80 - NCT07627308Recruiting
Ultrasound vs Fluoroscopy for Nerve Injections in Back Pain
This trial compares two imaging methods—ultrasound and fluoroscopy (X-ray)—to guide nerve injections for leg pain caused by compressed nerves in the lower back. The goal is to see which method is safer and more effective at relieving your pain.
Tanta, Gharbia GovernorateAges 18–75 - NCT07733752Recruiting
AI symptom-checking for spine pain in physical therapy

Acupuncture for cold-sensitive neck pain
This trial tests whether a specific type of acupuncture (three-needle Dazhui plus electroacupuncture) can reduce pain and improve function in people with neck pain caused by cervical spondylosis, especially when the pain is worse in cold weather. It combines a modern diagnosis with traditional Chinese medicine ideas to see if this approach helps more than standard care.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for radiculopathy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 84 recruiting radiculopathy 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 radiculopathy 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 radiculopathy 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.
