Testing how high-dose capsaicin affects nerve pain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at what “response profiles” different people have after treatment with high-concentration capsaicin for nerve-related pain. It may help doctors predict who benefits from capsaicin by measuring changes in symptoms and nerve sensitivity.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests if a capsaicin patch (a hot pepper extract) can reduce finger pain in people with osteoarthritis who also have nerve-like pain. It's for those who haven't gotten enough relief from standard painkillers.
This study looks at how well a high-concentration capsaicin patch works for people with long-term nerve pain in the pelvic or perineal area. If you have this type of pain, this patch might help reduce it by targeting the affected nerves.
This study looks at “TRP channels,” which are part of how nerves sense pain and temperature, to understand nerve pain (neuropathy) after chemotherapy. It may help improve how future treatments prevent or reduce nerve pain in people who have had certain chemotherapy drugs.
This study tests whether an 8% capsaicin cream (a chili-pepper derived treatment) can help reduce nerve pain and numbness in the legs caused by cancer chemotherapy drugs (taxanes). The cream is applied directly to affected areas, and the research team will track whether it improves your symptoms and pain levels over time.
This Phase 3 trial tests whether a capsaicin patch works better than duloxetine tablets to reduce painful nerve pain after chemotherapy. It aims to help people whose “gloves and socks” nerve pain has lasted after chemo.
This trial tests how your body's natural pain control responds to cold. You'll have a cold sensation applied to your skin to see how well your body can block pain without medication.
