Testosterone to reduce long-term spine pain in men on opioids
Treatments studied
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Pain clinical trials.
This Phase 2 study tests whether taking testosterone can lessen chronic non-cancer spinal pain in men who have low testosterone while using opioid pain medicines. It may help by improving hormone levels that could be affecting pain and overall wellbeing.

This early-phase study tests whether oxytocin (a hormone-like medication) can reduce how “appealing” opioids feel and also reduce pain. It’s aimed at older adults who have used opioids before but are not currently dealing with chronic pain most days.
This early trial studies whether Syntocinon can lower pain and help reduce how much opioids people use. It checks safety and the best dose by giving participants the study drug under close medical monitoring.
This trial studies how meditation may change brain activity and help people with long-lasting low back pain who are already taking prescription opioids. The goal is to understand the “neural” (brain) effects of meditation to improve pain treatment.
This study tests whether a combination of THC and CBD can help people who have both opioid use disorder and chronic low back pain. You would need to be on a stable dose of methadone and have used cannabis at least once in your life.
This study is testing whether adding chiropractic care to regular medical care helps people with long-term back or neck pain reduce their use of opioid pain medications. If you are interested in lowering your opioid dose, this trial may offer a non-drug approach to pain management.
This study tests whether giving methadone during and after major spine surgery can help reduce the need for other opioid pain medicines later. It is for adults having multilevel fusion in the lower or mid-back.
