Creating a pain map of sensory nerves
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at nerve fibres in the skin to better understand nerve pain. It may help develop better treatments for chronic nerve pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Aged between 18 and 75 years
- Be able to understand and sign a consent form
- Willing to attend scheduled visits and follow study procedures
- For people with chronic pain: you have nerve pain possibly from small nerve damage
- For healthy volunteers: you are generally healthy without significant medical issues

This study looks at how brain activity changes in people with long-lasting nerve pain using an MRI scan while you do simple behavioral tasks. It may help researchers understand brain function in chronic neuropathic pain and how it affects day-to-day abilities.
This study looks at whether people with fibromyalgia or long-term chronic pain have damage to the small nerve fibers in their skin. Understanding this could help develop better treatments.
This study uses a special technique to measure how nerves in the arm send signals to the brain. It compares healthy volunteers and people with an upper-limb amputation to better understand sensation and potentially improve prosthetic devices.
This study looks for small-fiber neuropathy (nerve damage that can affect pain and sensation) by examining skin properties. It may help researchers find easier ways to detect this condition using skin-based testing.
This study follows people with nerve pain over time to learn more about their condition. You will not receive a new treatment, but your data will help doctors understand neuropathic pain better.
This study tests a new wearable device that uses mild electrical pulses to treat chronic pain in the knee, arm, or shoulder. It is for people whose pain started after surgery or injury and who have not found enough relief with standard treatments.
