Sensation study in ADPKD patients
Part of Genetic & congenital, Kidney & urinary, Pain, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how people with ADPKD (a kidney condition that causes cysts) sense touch and temperature on their skin. It will compare their results with those of healthy volunteers to better understand the condition and help future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at people with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease to learn more about the condition. It is an observational study, meaning no new treatments are tested—just gathering information from your medical history and tests.
This trial uses controlled, short-term pain testing (a “pain study”) to better understand how pain works during and after certain cancer treatments. It may help researchers improve how cancer therapy pain is measured and managed.
This study tests how people sense heat and pain, and how the brain and emotions may influence that experience. It is designed for healthy adults and may involve training sessions and (for some parts) MRI scanning.
This study looks at how beliefs, mood, and social factors affect how people express and judge pain. It mainly uses pain/heat testing and—if chosen—brain scans to understand why pain reports can differ between people.
This study looks at how accurately people can describe their pain and related symptoms. It may help researchers improve how pain is measured in future studies.
This study uses a special pain-testing method to better predict how people with chronic pancreatitis-related pain (or similar conditions) will respond to treatment. It may help doctors choose therapies that work better for each person’s type of pain.
