Recruiting studies
- NCT06585800Enrolling by invitation
Studying gene changes in tissues
This study looks at genetic changes that occur naturally in human tissues. If you are already scheduled for surgery or a procedure like a biopsy or endoscopy, researchers may ask for a small tissue sample to study how our cells can change over time.

How do DNA changes happen in health and disease?
This study is looking at DNA changes (mutations) in healthy people and in people who may have DNA damage from things like the sun, smoking, past diseases, or treatments like radiation. The goal is to better understand how these changes happen and what they mean.
CambridgeAges 18 years+ - NCT05792930Recruiting
Therapy plus biofeedback for body-symptom distress
This study tests an integrated talk-therapy program that combines cognitive-behavioral therapy and biofeedback to help people whose symptoms are strongly felt in the body. It may help by teaching skills to reduce distress and improve how you manage symptoms.

Repetitive brain magnetic treatment for somatic symptom disorder
This trial tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non-surgical treatment that uses magnets on the scalp) can help people with somatic symptom disorder. If you qualify, you would be evaluated for symptom improvement and for safety during the treatment period.

Testing pacritinib for VEXAS syndrome
This trial tests a new drug called pacritinib for people with VEXAS syndrome, a rare autoinflammatory condition. The goal is to see if pacritinib can help control symptoms like rashes, joint pain, and low blood counts.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT06803485RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing two antidepressants for pain-related somatic symptom disorder
This trial tests whether venlafaxine or dosulepin works better for people whose main problem is pain from a condition called somatic symptom disorder. You may join if you are 18–65, have not recently taken similar medication, and do not have other serious health issues.
Bhubaneswar, OdishaAges 18–65 - NCT06656767Enrolling by invitation
Studying liver cell changes in chronic liver disease
This trial uses already collected liver tissue samples from adults to study how cells change over time in chronic liver disease. It could help researchers understand the disease better and find new ways to treat it.
CambridgeAges 18 years+ - NCT07642232Recruiting
Somatic Movement vs Core Strengthening for Premenstrual Syndrome
This study compares two exercise approaches—somatic movement therapy (mindful, body-awareness exercises) and core strengthening—to see which better reduces premenstrual syndrome symptoms like mood changes and physical discomfort. You'd participate in one type of exercise program over several weeks.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 18–35 - NCT07646509Recruiting
Mobile app to reduce physical symptoms from stress
This study tests a smartphone app designed to help people with somatic symptom disorder—a condition where stress and emotional distress cause ongoing physical symptoms that don't have a clear medical explanation. The app sends you check-ins and guidance throughout your day to help reduce these symptoms.
Vienna, State of ViennaAges 18–65 - NCT05525598Recruiting
Online therapy for severe body–mind symptom disorders
This trial tests an internet-based treatment program for people with moderate-to-severe functional somatic disorders (long-lasting physical symptoms linked to how the body and brain interact). It may help reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning by offering structured support online.
Aarhus C, DenmarkAges 18–60 - NCT05666921Recruiting
Study thoughts and relationships in teens with body-pain symptoms
This trial studies how emotions and attachment (how people relate to others) may affect teens who have long-lasting body symptoms without an organic cause. It may help explain why symptoms happen and how support strategies could improve quality of life.
Florence, FirenzeAges 11–17 - NCT06054295Recruiting
Twin study of childhood brain tumors
This study looks at genetic differences between identical twins where only one twin has a childhood brain or spinal cord tumor. It helps researchers understand why some children get cancer and others don't.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges Up to 18 years - NCT06582173Recruiting
Mapping healthcare paths for teens with physical symptoms linked to stress
This study maps how 12–25 year olds with somatic symptom disorder (physical symptoms caused by stress or emotions) get diagnosed and treated. It aims to improve care by understanding the best ways to evaluate and support these young people and their families.
Paris, IDFAges 12 years+ - NCT07067619Recruiting
Pain acceptance training for emotional and physical distress
This trial tests a training program to help people accept chronic pain and emotional distress. It looks at how thinking patterns might help or hinder progress.
HaifaAges 18–70 - NCT07518446Recruiting
Health Screening for Adults Starting Psychiatric Care
This study checks the physical health of adults beginning treatment for serious mental illnesses like schizophrenia or depression at two Danish clinics. It aims to catch health problems early that people with these conditions often experience.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT06832150Enrolling by invitation
How cancer treatment affects normal cells
This study looks at how cancer therapies may change healthy cells in your body over time. By collecting samples before and during treatment, researchers hope to understand long-term effects of therapy on normal tissues.
CambridgeAges 18–99 - NCT06035705Recruiting
Patient needs in hospital care

GävleAges Any age - NCT06232473RecruitingPhase 4
Education and duloxetine for multisystem functional somatic disorder
This trial tests whether a combination of patient education and the medication duloxetine can help people with a condition that causes multiple unexplained physical symptoms (functional somatic disorder). It aims to see if using both treatments together works better than either alone.
AarhusAges 18–60 - NCT06221722Recruiting
Brain scan study for treating constipation
This trial uses brain scans to see if doctors can predict how well constipation treatments will work. It is for adults with functional constipation, but only if they have no other digestive problems or medical implants.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for somatization?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 59 recruiting somatization 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 somatization 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 somatization 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.
