Trials for Pain Patients
Procedure
Sociocultural Influences on Pain Assessment
Recruiting1 award
Bethesda, Maryland
This trial is exploring if social and cultural factors play a role in how people experience pain and how others interpret it. Eligible participants will be asked to complete a series of tests that may include electric shock, thermal stimulation, and viewing images of others in pain.
Procedure
Nerve Block Timing for Shoulder Pain
Recruiting1 award8 criteria
Cincinnati, Ohio
This trial is testing a procedure where pain medication is injected near neck nerves to manage pain after shoulder surgery. It targets healthy adolescents having shoulder reconstruction. The treatment works by numbing the nerves to block pain signals, helping reduce the need for other painkillers and speeding up recovery. This method has been found to be the most effective way to control pain after shoulder surgery.
Trials for Opioid Use Disorder Patients
Opioid Analgesic
Pain Medication for Postoperative Pain
Recruiting1 awardPhase 3
Saint Louis, Missouri
This trial is testing whether adding Toradol, an anti-inflammatory drug, to the usual opioid painkillers can better manage pain after surgery in patients who have had a specific type of bone surgery. These patients are chosen because they don't need the body's natural inflammation process for healing. Toradol works by reducing inflammation, while opioids change how the brain perceives pain. Toradol, also known as ketorolac, is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that has been studied for its opioid-sparing effects in postoperative pain management.

Trials Offering Remuneration
Cannabis for Pain Relief
Recruiting0 awardsPhase 1
Los Angeles, California
This trial is studying the effects of smoking cannabis on pain relief and potential abuse in men and women. Researchers are comparing how different doses affect each sex and how their bodies process THC, the active ingredient in cannabis. The goal is to understand if there are significant differences between men and women in these effects.
Anti-Inflammatory Drug + Pain Challenge for Pain
Recruiting0 awardsPhase 1
Houston, Texas
This trial will study whether a new bio-signature (a range of pro- and anti-nociceptive IL-1 family cytokine activity) can predict pain and release of endogenous opioids in healthy subjects. Another objective is to see if an anti-inflammatory drug (minocycline) will reduce pain during the experimental, nociceptive pain challenge.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need insurance to participate in a trial?
Almost all clinical trials will cover the cost of the 'trial drug' — so no insurance is required for this. For trials where this trial drug is given alongside an already-approved medication, there may be a cost (which your insurance would normally cover).
Is there any support for travel costs?
Many of the teams running clinical trials will cover the cost of transportation to-and-from their care center.
Will I know what medication I am taking?
This depends on the specific study. If you're worried about receiving a placebo, you can actively filter out these trials using our search.
How long do clinical trials last?
Some trials will only require a single visit, while others will continue until your disease returns. It's fairly common for a trial to last somewhere between 1 and 6 months.
Do you verify all the trials on your website?
All of the trials listed on Power have been formally registered with the US Food and Drug Administration. Beyond this, some trials on Power have been formally 'verified' if the team behind the trial has completed an additional level of verification with our team.
How quickly will I hear back from a clinical trial?
Sadly, this response time can take anywhere from 6 hours to 2 weeks. We're working hard to speed up how quickly you hear back — in general, verified trials respond to patients within a few days.
