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 study tests whether electroacupuncture (a gentle type of acupuncture with a mild electric current) can help relieve the pain of postherpetic neuralgia (nerve pain after shingles) and looks at how it works in the body. It compares real electroacupuncture to a sham (fake) version to see if it truly helps.
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 trial is looking for people who are exactly 50 years old and have just been diagnosed with post-herpetic neuralgia (nerve pain after shingles). It will study early signs to help better understand this condition.
This study tests whether warm acupuncture can reduce the long-term nerve pain (postherpetic neuralgia) that sometimes remains after shingles. It aims to help people whose pain has lasted at least 3 months and who have a specific traditional medicine diagnosis.
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.
