High-dose pain cream for nerve pain in older adults
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a strong lidocaine-tetracaine cream to see if it can reduce nerve pain in people aged 60 and older. It may be an option if you have had nerve pain for at least 6 months and rate your pain as severe (6 or higher on a 0-10 scale).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 60 years old or older.
- You have nerve pain (peripheral neuropathy) that has lasted at least 6 months.
- Your average pain level is 6 or higher on a 0 to 10 pain scale.
- You do not have any skin damage or sores where the cream would be applied.
- You are not allergic to lidocaine, tetracaine, or similar numbing ingredients.
- You are not using any other creams, gels, or patches on the same painful area.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether a lidocaine patch can prevent nerve pain after a recent broken bone linked to osteoporosis. If you're 50 or older, had a vertebra fracture in the last month, and have pain at least 3 on a 0-10 scale, you may be eligible.
This trial tests whether injecting a numbing medicine (lidocaine) into the painful area helps people with chronic, unexplained pain in the anal or perineal region. It is for patients who have not gotten relief from standard treatments and whose MRI shows no other cause.
This trial studies whether a numbing “nerve block” can reduce long-lasting nerve pain caused by diabetic neuropathy. You may keep your usual pain medicines, and the study will mainly check whether you fit the safety and diagnosis criteria.
This study tests how certain skin creams affect nerve channels in the skin. It may help find better ways to treat pain or sensitivity.
This trial tests if injecting lidocaine under the skin can reduce pain from shingles (acute herpes zoster) or long-lasting nerve pain after shingles (post-herpetic neuralgia). It might help patients with ongoing pain that hasn't responded well to other treatments.
This trial tests if a numbing injection into the pudendal nerve can reduce pain after one month. It's for people with pudendal neuralgia that hasn't improved with medication.
