AI tool for chronic pain with trigger points
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Mouth & dental, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether an artificial intelligence tool can help doctors make better decisions for people with chronic pain caused by myofascial trigger points (tight, painful knots in muscles). It may be a good fit if you have had localized pain for 3-6 months, rate your pain as 4 or higher on a 0-10 scale, and have some limits in daily activities.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old
- Your pain is in one specific area, not all over your body
- You have had this pain for 3 to 6 months
- Your usual pain level is at least 4 out of 10
- You have tight, tender knots in your muscles (myofascial trigger points)
- Your pain moderately or severely limits your daily activities

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests two therapies—dry needling (thin needles into muscle knots) and low-level laser/microcurrent (gentle energy) treatment—alone or combined, to relieve acute neck pain from muscle knots (myofascial pain). It aims to reduce pain and improve function for people with recent onset symptoms.
This trial tests if injecting trigger points in the neck and shoulder muscles can relieve pain in people with fibromyalgia and chronic myofascial pain syndrome. It may help reduce muscle tightness and improve function.
This study uses artificial intelligence to better understand and measure pain in people with chronic pain. The goal is to develop smarter ways to assess pain automatically, which could lead to better treatment.
This trial tests if a person-centred AI tool can improve rehabilitation for people with chronic pain. It takes place at clinics that offer team-based rehab, and you would complete digital assessments and follow-ups.
This trial tests a new AI-powered training platform for pain management. It aims to see if health professionals in primary care and specialized settings find it easy to use and helpful for their work.
This trial tests whether low-energy ultrasound and electrical/magnetic stimulation can reduce long-lasting myofascial pain in the low back, neck, or tension-type headaches. It may help if your pain has lasted at least 3 months and is still noticeable despite your current treatment plan.
