Recruiting studies
- NCT06045013RecruitingPhase 3
Dextrose injection vs. dextrose with steroid for carpal tunnel
This study tests whether adding a common steroid (methylprednisolone) to a dextrose (sugar water) injection works better than dextrose alone for carpal tunnel syndrome. Both treatments are injected into the wrist to reduce pain and numbness.
KninAges 18–80 - NCT07688902Recruiting
Comparing two injection methods for partial rotator cuff tears
This study compares two ways of injecting a sugar-water solution (5% dextrose) into the shoulder to treat partial rotator cuff tears. It may help reduce pain and improve shoulder function without surgery.
AnkaraAges 18–75 - NCT06829030Enrolling by invitationPhase 1/Phase 2
Comparing two injections for low back pain relief
This trial compares two types of injections—one standard anti-inflammatory drug and one simple sugar water solution—to see which works better for treating low back pain in an emergency setting. If you are an adult between 18 and 55 with isolated low back pain, this study may help find a more effective pain treatment.
AksarayAges 18–55 - NCT07124130RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing IV fluids with and without sugar during induced labor
This trial compares two types of IV fluids given during induced labor to see if adding a little sugar (dextrose) to the standard fluid (Lactated Ringer's) helps mothers and babies. It is for first-time mothers whose labor is being started with medicine.
Norfolk, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07241559Recruiting
Low back pain treatment study: injection and mobilization
This study tests two treatments for chronic low back pain: a special injection of dextrose (a sugar solution) guided by ultrasound, and a technique to mobilize the fascia (connective tissue) in the lower back. It aims to see if these help people who haven't found relief from standard treatments.
Ankara, AltındağAges 18–65 - NCT07688876Recruiting
Comparing two treatments for long-term heel pain
This trial tests two minimally invasive procedures—pulsed radiofrequency and a dextrose injection—to see which better relieves chronic heel pain from plantar fasciitis that hasn't improved with other treatments.
AnkaraAges 18–70 - NCT07002892Recruiting
Injection treatments for moderate carpal tunnel syndrome
This study compares two injection treatments (corticosteroid with dextrose versus ozone) for carpal tunnel syndrome. It may help if your CTS is moderate and other treatments haven't worked.
AnkaraAges 18–65 - NCT06243848Recruiting
Injection vs. surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome
This trial compares two treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome: an ultrasound-guided injection and a surgery to take pressure off the median nerve. It aims to see which one provides better relief for symptoms like numbness and tingling.
AfyonkarahisarAges 18–75 - NCT07381621Recruiting
Comparing sugar water vs. numbing shots for knee arthritis
This study compares two different types of knee injections for people with knee osteoarthritis. One injection uses a simple sugar solution (dextrose), and the other uses a standard numbing medication (local anesthetic). The goal is to see which works better for reducing pain and improving knee function.
Ankara, AltindagAges 40–65 - NCT04608630RecruitingPhase 2
Preventing bone loss in ICU patients with anti-bone drugs
This Phase 2 study tests whether zoledronic acid or denosumab can prevent bone thinning in critically ill adults after staying in the ICU. It may help reduce the risk of future bone fractures if your body is at higher risk during and after critical illness.
Sydney, New South WalesAges 50 years+ - NCT06427694Recruiting
Long-Term Follow-Up of Low-Dose IL-2 After Heart Attack
This study is checking on people who finished a previous trial (IVORY) that tested a low-dose treatment called IL-2 for reducing inflammation after a heart attack. It will see how they are doing over time and if the treatment helped their heart health.
Cambridge, CambridgeshireAges 18–85 - NCT06611111RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Ceftriaxone for lingering fatigue after Lyme disease
This study tests whether a short course of a strong antibiotic (ceftriaxone) can help people who still have fatigue and other symptoms after being treated for Lyme disease. It aims to see if this treatment can improve your quality of life.
East Syracuse, New YorkAges 18–75 - NCT07245121Recruiting
Sugar water injections for chronic knee arthritis pain
This trial tests whether injecting a sugar-water solution around the nerves of the knee can reduce chronic pain from osteoarthritis. It is for people with long-term knee pain, stiffness, and cracking who have not had recent knee treatments or surgery.
Athens, AtticaAges 38 years+ - NCT07382596RecruitingPhase 4
Cervical injections for treatment-resistant PTSD
This study tests if injecting a sugar-water solution around neck nerves can help PTSD that hasn't improved with standard treatments. Half the participants get sugar-water, half get salt-water, and you'll be assigned to usual care for 3 months first.

What Dextrose 5% is being studied for
Conditions with recruiting Dextrose 5% studies.
Common questions
- Are there clinical trials studying Dextrose 5%?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 14 recruiting studies that include Dextrose 5%, drawn from the U.S. registry and rewritten for real people so you can see what each is testing and who it's for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a Dextrose 5% trial?
- Each study lists its own eligibility criteria — rules about condition, age, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Is Dextrose 5% an approved treatment?
- A drug being studied in a trial may be investigational (still being tested) or already approved and being studied for a new use. Each study page explains what phase it's in. Clin2 does not provide medical advice — talk with your doctor about whether Dextrose 5% or a specific trial is right for you.
