Recruiting studies
- NCT05762055Enrolling by invitation
Compare two neck fusion methods for arthritis pain
This study compares two ways of doing neck fusion surgery for people with age-related (degenerative) problems in the cervical spine. It may help surgeons learn which method works best for healing and long-term outcomes.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–99 - NCT05745129Enrolling by invitation
AI tool for personalized care decisions in spine problems
This trial looks at using an artificial intelligence (AI) tool to help guide care choices for people with spine problems. It may help doctors assess whether you need surgery or a different approach, especially when disc herniation isn’t the main issue.
Oslo, NorgeAges 18–80 - NCT05721027RecruitingPhase 4
Ibuprofen alone or with a steroid for new sciatica pain
This trial compares ibuprofen alone versus ibuprofen plus dexamethasone (a steroid) for short-term relief of acute nerve-related low back pain that shoots into the buttock or leg. It aims to see which approach reduces pain and improves function after an emergency visit.
The Bronx, New YorkAges 18–70 - NCT05701059Recruiting
Tests different artificial discs for neck nerve and spinal cord problems
This trial compares two types of artificial disc implants used for certain neck problems. It may help people who have tried non-surgical treatments but still have ongoing nerve symptoms or spinal cord issues from a damaged disc in the neck.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–60 - NCT05444751Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
Different pain medicine plans for back surgery
This Phase 3 study compares two combinations of anesthesia and pain medications during lumbar decompression surgery, to see which helps more. It may help patients by aiming for better pain control and recovery using one planned medication approach.
New York, New YorkAges 18–80 - NCT05289999Recruiting
Virtual reality for pain and anxiety during back injections
This trial tests whether using virtual reality can help reduce pain and anxiety during epidural injections for nerve-related back or leg pain. It is for adults who need these injections for the first time.
Le MansAges 18 years+ - NCT05115461Enrolling by invitation
Study pain and balance in lumbar disc nerve pain
This trial studies how nerve pain from a slipped/herniated low-back disc affects postural (balance) stability. It may help researchers understand better ways to support balance and reduce nerve-related pain symptoms.
IzmirAges 18–60 - NCT05066711Enrolling by invitation
Study of a neck surgery implant for adults
This trial looks at using a specific implant system during planned front-of-the-neck surgery (C2 to C7) for common neck problems like disc degeneration, injury, or spinal narrowing. It may help doctors compare outcomes with this particular hardware and surgical approach.
Naperville, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05029726RecruitingPhase 4
Numbing medicine during back surgery to reduce pain
This trial tests a regional anesthesia (numbing medicine given near nerves) during minimally invasive lumbar spine surgery. The goal is to see if it helps control pain around surgery and improves recovery comfort.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–80 - NCT04982965RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Study brain changes behind cannabis pain relief
This early study looks at how the brain may respond to cannabis to reduce long-lasting lower back pain. You may be asked to follow strict rules about cannabis, opioids, and safety checks (including MRI) to help researchers understand the brain mechanisms.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 21–65 - NCT04909138Recruiting
Intermittent nerve stimulation instead of daily low-frequency therapy
This study tests whether switching from continuous implanted nerve stimulation to an intermittent schedule can keep pain relief for people with chronic back and/or leg pain. You would be compared in a structured study plan to see if the alternate dosing works for you and is safe.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–90 - NCT04770571Enrolling by invitation
Study of posterior neck and upper-back spine fixation systems
This trial studies specific surgical hardware used to stabilize the back of the neck and upper back during spine surgery. It may help surgeons compare outcomes for people needing fixation for trauma, instability, failed prior fusion, tumors, or certain degenerative conditions.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04684901Enrolling by invitation
AlloWrap to reduce inflammation during cervical spine fusion surgery
This trial tests whether AlloWrap® can lower inflammation during anterior cervical fusion surgery (ACDF). It may help improve healing and recovery by reducing the body’s inflammatory response after surgery.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03023696Recruiting
Prevent C5 nerve trouble after neck surgery
This trial studies whether a preventive surgical step (foraminotomy) can lower the risk of C5 palsy, a type of arm/shoulder weakness, after certain neck surgeries. It focuses on adults with cervical myelopathy undergoing specific C4–C5 posterior decompression procedures.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for radiculopathy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 86 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.
