Recruiting studies
- NCT07489625RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Electroacupuncture and ear acupressure for cancer pain
This study tests whether adding electroacupuncture (a treatment using mild electric pulses on needles) and ear acupressure (pressing on specific points on the ear) to the pain medicine hydromorphone helps reduce cancer-related pain that isn't well managed by usual treatments.
XiningAges 18–80 - NCT05565495RecruitingPhase 2
Hydromorphone dosing changes during ECMO
This Phase 2 study looks at how hydromorphone (a strong pain medicine) behaves in the body for people on ECMO, and how that may affect dosing. It may help doctors better choose the right pain-med dose while someone is receiving ECMO.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–80 - NCT06525740RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing two pain medicines for gynecologic cancer surgery
This trial compares two different pain medicines (methadone given by mouth or IV vs. hydromorphone given through a spinal injection) after surgery for gynecologic cancer. It aims to find which option provides better pain relief with fewer side effects.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges Any age - NCT06949059RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Hydromorphone for acute chest pain relief
This trial tests a quick-acting pain medicine (hydromorphone) given through a vein to treat severe chest pain. It may be an option for people experiencing acute pain who haven't been helped by other medicines.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–64 - NCT03893734RecruitingPhase 4
Methadone vs hydromorphone to check heart rhythm after surgery
This trial tests whether the pain medicines methadone and hydromorphone affect the heart’s electrical timing after general anesthesia and surgery. It may help doctors choose the safer option for patients who need strong pain control after an operation.
Evanston, IllinoisAges 18–80 - NCT03427736Recruiting
Studying pain and numbing medicines in children
This trial looks at how well different numbing and pain-relief medicines work in children during routine care. It may help doctors choose safer, better pain control for kids who need these medicines.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges birth–17 years - NCT03715517Recruiting
Spinal anesthesia to improve recovery after liver surgery
This trial studies whether using spinal/epidural anesthesia during liver tumor removal surgery can help people recover better and with less pain. It compares this approach to standard general anesthesia care to see if recovery is smoother.
Winnipeg, ManitobaAges 18 years+ - NCT04234191RecruitingPhase 2
Test faster buprenorphine/naloxone start versus usual start for opioid use disorder
This Phase 2 study compares a rapid way to start buprenorphine/naloxone versus the standard way, for people with opioid use disorder. It aims to see whether the faster start is safe and works well enough to help people begin treatment sooner.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 19 years+ - NCT05027919RecruitingPhase 2
Testing ways to predict opioid withdrawal during a taper
This Phase 2 study looks at what opioid withdrawal looks like in the body and whether they can measure it in a meaningful way. You may join if you have an opioid use disorder, can show physical dependence, and are interested in tapering (gradually reducing) opioids under study care.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–65 - NCT05842044RecruitingPhase 2
NSAID pain medicine after robotic kidney-sparing surgery
This Phase 2 study looks at whether taking an anti-inflammatory pain medicine (an NSAID) after robotic partial nephrectomy is safe and helpful. It may reduce pain while checking for stomach, bleeding, and heart-related side effects after kidney-sparing surgery.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–99 - NCT06320041RecruitingPhase 4
Oliceridine for pain after orthopedic surgery
This trial tests a new painkiller called oliceridine for moderate to severe pain after orthopedic surgery. It may help you recover more comfortably with fewer side effects.
Yiwu, ZhejiangAges 18–100 - NCT06411795RecruitingPhase 2
Comparing two pain relief methods after Whipple surgery
This study compares two ways to manage pain after Whipple surgery: a long-lasting numbing injection near the belly muscles (rectus sheath block) versus an epidural (a tube placed in your back). The goal is to see which method provides better pain relief and recovery.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06617949RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Pain Control Study for New Mothers on Opioid Medication
This study looks at better ways to manage pain after childbirth for mothers who are taking medication for opioid use disorder. It aims to find which pain control method works best and is safest for you and your baby.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18–40 - NCT06785571RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Pain relief study for ICU patients on a ventilator
This study tests a painkiller called nalbuphine for ICU patients on a breathing machine. It aims to see if it controls pain as well as or better than usual care, with fewer side effects.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–80 - NCT07430345RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Buprenorphine for pain in older adults with broken bones
This trial tests a low-dose pain medicine called buprenorphine for people 65 and older who come to the emergency room with a broken bone. It aims to find a safe way to manage pain in older adults.
Camden, New JerseyAges 65 years+ - NCT06716359Enrolling by invitation
Comparing two pain medicines after C-section
This trial compares two pain relievers, hydromorphone and nalbuphine, given through a patient-controlled pump after cesarean section. It aims to find which provides better pain control with fewer side effects.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials studying Hydromorphone?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 16 recruiting studies that include Hydromorphone, 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 Hydromorphone 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 Hydromorphone 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 Hydromorphone or a specific trial is right for you.
