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 tests whether a high-dose capsaicin patch (made from hot pepper) can reduce chronic nerve pain in the pelvic and perineal area. Researchers want to see how patients with different levels of pain sensitivity respond to the treatment.
This trial tests an investigational capsule (HSK16149) for people with moderate-to-severe central neuropathic pain—nerve pain caused by damage to the spinal cord or brain. If you qualify, you may receive the study drug or a placebo to see if it safely reduces pain.
This study tests how healthy adults respond to different types of pain, such as heat, cold, and a substance that causes a mild burning feeling. The results may help researchers better understand pain and could guide future pain treatments.
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.
