Study how gut bacteria relates to complex regional pain
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at differences in gut bacteria (from a stool sample) in people with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) and in people who live with them. The goal is to understand whether gut microbes might play a role in CRPS and improve understanding of the condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be an adult (18+), and able to give consent
- If you have CRPS: your diagnosis must meet Budapest criteria (and fall within the study’s timing)
- If you’re a control: you must live with someone who has current or past CRPS
- Do not plan to use probiotics during the study; you must be willing to stop for 1 week before a stool sample
- You can’t join if you live alone, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or follow a vegan diet
- You must be willing to participate; you must have English as your main language

This study looks at how signs in the body change over time in children with CRPS (complex regional pain syndrome). It mainly involves being assessed alongside the usual CRPS care, and often includes MRI checks to better understand the pain course.
This trial studies whether noninvasive brain stimulation (TMS) can reduce pain in people with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). It may help if your CRPS has lasted at least a few months and you can safely undergo the stimulation and study tasks.
This study looks at how the brain processes pain sensations in children with certain long-lasting pain conditions. It may help researchers understand what’s happening in the nervous system and guide better treatments.
This study is testing a new way to measure CRPS symptoms and other chronic pain in one arm or leg. It aims to help doctors better understand and treat your condition.
This study tests a high-CBD cannabis extract (BRC-002) to see if it can help reduce pain and improve health in people with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). Participants will not use opioids or other cannabis during the study.
This study looks at bacteria in your gut that may produce chemicals linked to ongoing pain in Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, even when the disease itself is not very active. Researchers want to understand why some people still have moderate to severe abdominal pain even after their inflammation has calmed down.
