Testing Pain Sensitivity and Pain Relief for Nerve Pain in Feet
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how people with long-term nerve pain in their feet respond to pain relief. It aims to match the right treatment to each person based on their pain sensitivity.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether shining light on the feet and legs can help reduce nerve damage caused by chemotherapy in people who had cancer as children. If you have ongoing numbness, tingling, or pain in your hands or feet from past chemo, this trial may offer a gentle, drug-free treatment.
This study looks at how the central nervous system reacts in people with type 2 diabetes who have or don't have pain from nerve damage. It aims to better understand nerve sensitivity to help improve treatment.
This study analyzes blood samples from people with diabetes to understand what causes nerve pain and damage in the legs and feet. Researchers will compare blood from three groups: people with diabetic nerve pain, people with diabetes but no nerve problems, and healthy volunteers without diabetes.
This trial tests an extended-release version of pregabalin (a pain medication) for people with long-term nerve pain caused by diabetes or shingles. It aims to see if this once-daily pill can reduce pain with fewer side effects.
This trial tests how well two types of peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) devices relieve chronic pain caused by a single nerve injury. It looks for people who already have a referral for PNS therapy as part of their usual care and who have gotten at least 50% relief from a diagnostic nerve block.
This trial tests a treatment called spinal cord stimulation for people with diabetic foot pain that hasn't improved with standard treatments. It uses mild electrical pulses to block pain signals and might help if you can't have or don't want surgery on your leg blood vessels.
