Injections to ease pain from nerve lumps after limb injury
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two injections—a nerve relaxer (botulinum toxin, like Botox) and a numbing medication (local anesthetic)—to see which better eases pain from a neuroma, a painful nerve lump that can form after a limb injury or amputation. If you have this kind of pain, the trial may help find a treatment that works for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have had an injury to or amputation of a limb at least 3 months ago.
- Your pain must be from a neuroma, confirmed by both a doctor's exam and an ultrasound or MRI.
- Your average pain in the past week must be at least 4 out of 10.
- Your pain medications must have been stable for at least 14 days before joining.
- You cannot be pregnant, breastfeeding, allergic to the study drugs, or have certain muscle or nerve conditions.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a surgical procedure called targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) to prevent pain after a leg amputation. The goal is to see if rerouting nerves during amputation can reduce phantom limb pain or stump pain.
This trial tests a surgery called RPNI to treat painful nerve growths (neuromas) in people who have lost a leg. The goal is to reduce severe pain and improve the ability to use a prosthetic limb.
This study tests two methods, a mild electrical nerve stimulation and a vibrating device, used during the numbing injection for skin surgery to see if they reduce pain. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the methods during their procedure.
This study tests two injections—alcohol and capsaicin (a pepper extract)—to see if they can reduce pain after an amputation. The goal is to ease the burning, tingling, or shooting pain that can come from nerve tissue at the amputation site.
This study compares two treatments—a Botox injection or a numbing medicine injection—for the burning, stabbing pain from a nerve lump (neuroma) that developed after a combat-related amputation. The goal is to see which treatment provides better pain relief for at least 3 months of pain.
This Phase 2 trial tests whether injecting incobotulinumtoxin-A near painful nerves can reduce nerve-type pain in the feet for people with diabetes. If you have lasting, fairly symmetrical pain in both feet, the injections may help calm the nerve pain signals.
