Calcitonin for nerve pain after spinal cord injury
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether calcitonin can prevent or lessen nerve pain after a spinal cord injury. It may help reduce how often neuropathic (nerve-type) pain happens and how severe it becomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a spinal cord injury (any location in the spine) and it happened recently.
- You are not currently taking seizure medicines (anticonvulsants).
- You do not already have nerve-type pain (neuropathic pain).
- You have never had an allergic reaction to calcitonin before.

This trial tests whether a medication called calcitonin (given as a shot under the skin) can help reduce pain in people with a recent shingles outbreak. It is for adults 50 and older who have moderate to severe pain from their rash.
This trial tests whether transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a non-invasive brain stimulation, can help relieve nerve pain in people with spinal cord injury. It is for those who have had chronic nerve pain for at least 6 months that hasn't improved with standard treatments.
This study looks at how spinal cord stimulation (a device that sends mild signals to the spinal cord) affects nerve pain after lumbar surgery. It also aims to help predict who is most likely to improve and why, comparing patients with and without certain sensory symptoms.
This trial tests a non-invasive treatment that uses mild electrical stimulation on the skin over the spine to help relieve nerve-related pain in the lower back. It may be an option for people with chronic nerve pain, with or without pain spreading down the leg.
This trial tests an experimental pill for people with spinal cord injury who have long-term nerve pain. It aims to see if the drug can reduce pain and be safe.
This study looks at how a training program affects skin reflexes and nerve pain in people with spinal cord injury (SCI). It may help researchers find better ways to manage nerve pain by changing how the body responds to touch and training.
