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 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 full-spectrum cannabis extract (a whole-plant product containing many natural compounds) can help relieve chronic pain and improve markers of bone health in women. If you join, you'll take the extract and your pain and bone health will be monitored.
This trial tests whether naloxone, a drug that blocks opioid effects, can change how your body responds to pain injections in the lower back. It may help find new ways to treat low back pain that hasn't improved with physical therapy or oral medications.
This study tests whether a new medication called LY4065967 can reduce chronic low back pain. Researchers want to see if it works better than current treatments for people who have had lower back pain for at least 3 months.
This early-stage study tests whether dronabinol (a form of THC) changes pain perception in people with opioid use disorder who are already stable on methadone or buprenorphine. It may help researchers understand whether this treatment affects pain and drug-related outcomes in a safer, controlled way.
