Naloxone injection for low back pain
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had low back pain for at least 3 months that persists despite physical therapy and oral medications.
- Your average low back pain in the last week is at least 4 on a 10-point scale.
- You are not currently using opioid pain medications or recreational drugs, and have not used opioids in the last 3 days.
- You are willing to have an IV placed and receive an injection of naloxone.
- You have no serious spine conditions, unstable medical issues, or allergies that would interfere with the study.

This study compares two needle-based techniques to treat long-lasting low back pain by stopping overactive pain signals from specific back joints. If you’ve already tried physical therapy and pain medicines without enough relief, this trial may test which technique works better for pain reduction.
This study tests whether using ultrasound imaging to guide a special injection treatment (pharmacopuncture) is safe and effective for people with spine-related neck or lower back pain that radiates into the arms or legs. The treatment is already being offered as routine care, and this study tracks how well it works.
