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.
This trial tests a procedure that uses heat to disable small nerves in the spine that may be causing your lower back pain. It aims to reduce pain and improve function for people who haven't found relief with other treatments.
This study tests whether a special injection made from umbilical cord tissue is safe and can help with long-term low back pain. It is for adults who have not had recent back procedures or certain health problems.
This trial tests whether injecting sore “trigger points” in low back muscles helps improve chronic low back pain. It compares treatments in people with specific low back muscle pain patterns and excludes several other causes of pain.
This study tests whether a single injection of a numbing medicine (ropivacaine) into the muscles of the lower back can quickly relieve sudden, severe back pain that has lasted less than a week. The goal is to see if this nerve block can help when standard pain pills aren't working.
