Pain clinical trials span acute procedural pain, chronic musculoskeletal pain, neuropathic pain, and cancer-related pain β€” each requiring distinct trial designs and patient-reported outcome instruments. The regulatory demand for non-opioid alternatives has intensified the search for novel analgesic mechanisms, particularly ion channel targets and neurostimulation approaches.

Active trials evaluate Nav1.7/1.8 blockers, CGRP antagonists for new indications, spinal cord stimulation refinements, virtual reality-based pain management, and patient-specific ketamine infusion protocols. Pain trials increasingly use ecological momentary assessment (EMA) diary approaches over traditional recall-based pain rating scales.

Frequently Asked Questions — shoulder pain Clinical Trials

How many clinical trials are currently recruiting for shoulder pain?
ClinicalMetric currently tracks 5 actively recruiting clinical trials for shoulder pain, sourced in real time from ClinicalTrials.gov. The total number of registered studies—including those not yet enrolling or in active follow-up—is 5. Trial availability changes daily as new studies open enrollment and existing ones reach capacity.
What trial phases are available for shoulder pain?
shoulder pain research spans multiple clinical trial phases. Phase 1 studies evaluate safety and dosing in small groups, Phase 2 studies assess preliminary efficacy in 100–300 participants, and Phase 3 trials compare the new treatment against the standard of care in 300–3,000+ patients. Phase 4 post-approval studies monitor long-term outcomes in real-world populations.
How do I find out if I qualify for a shoulder pain clinical trial?
Eligibility criteria for shoulder pain trials vary by study and typically specify age range, disease stage or severity, prior treatment history, and specific diagnostic or laboratory parameters. Each listing on ClinicalMetric links to the full protocol on ClinicalTrials.gov, where inclusion and exclusion criteria are documented. Contact the sponsoring site's research coordinator directly to confirm your eligibility—your treating physician or specialist can also help identify the most appropriate trial based on your medical history and current treatment status.
