Cannabis extract for nerve back pain and painkiller needs
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a cannabis extract can reduce acute nerve-related pain in the back and lessen how much pain medication you need. It may help people with a short-term episode of “shooting” nerve pain from the spine.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old
- Your nerve pain started within the last 12 weeks

This trial tests whether cannabis oil can help people with fibromyalgia who still have pain despite trying other treatments. Participants will receive cannabis oil, and researchers will look for biological markers that predict who responds best.
This early study looks at how the brain may respond to cannabis to reduce long-lasting lower back pain. You may be asked to follow strict rules about cannabis, opioids, and safety checks (including MRI) to help researchers understand the brain mechanisms.
This trial studies whether taking cannabis by mouth can safely reduce chronic spine pain and improve daily comfort. You may be eligible if you have long-lasting spine pain and can follow study rules about stopping or limiting other cannabis and certain other treatments.
This Phase 2 study tests cannabis-derived products to see if they reduce neuropathic (nerve-related) pain in veterans. It may help people whose pain is persistent and causes significant daily impact, especially if certain exam tests show allodynia (pain from normally non-painful touch).
This trial tests a full-spectrum cannabis extract (a product containing many cannabis compounds) to see if it helps with chronic pain and affects bone health in women. You will receive either the cannabis extract or a placebo (a dummy pill) in a random order, and neither you nor the study team will know which one you are taking at the time.
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.
