New tablet for long-term shingles pain
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a new tablet called HL-1186 for treating post-herpetic neuralgia (long-lasting pain after shingles). It compares the new drug to pregabalin, a standard treatment, to see if it's safer and more effective.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have had pain for at least 1 month after the shingles rash healed.
- You do not have other pain that could interfere with the study results.
- You have not previously tried pregabalin (Lyrica) without success or with bad side effects.
- You have not had cancer in the past 2 years.

This trial tests three injected treatments—tiny cell particles, platelet-rich plasma, and steroids—directly into the skin to reduce long-lasting nerve pain that follows shingles. If you've had persistent shingles pain for at least 3 months, this study may help ease your discomfort.
This study tests whether electroacupuncture (a type of acupuncture using mild electric pulses) can reduce nerve pain after shingles. It also looks for biomarkers to see how the treatment works.
This study tests whether warm acupuncture can help relieve persistent nerve pain after shingles (postherpetic neuralgia). It may offer a non-drug option for people whose pain has not gone away after the rash heals.
This trial tests a new medicine called crisugabalin to see if it safely reduces shingles pain. It may help if you have moderate to severe pain from a shingles rash that started less than 3 months ago.
This trial tests whether adding esketamine to two standard pain medicines (pregabalin and duloxetine) can better treat nerve pain from shingles that persists for months. It's for people whose pain hasn't improved enough with pregabalin alone.
This trial tests a new pain medication called tulodesvenlafaxine for people with shingles-related pain. It may help if you have moderate to severe pain that started within the last 90 days.
