Gabapentin for Tonsillitis
Recruiting3 awardsPhase 4
Atlanta, Georgia
The purpose of this pilot study: 1) to examine the use of gabapentin in reducing pain in the first 48 hours postoperatively including the total amount of narcotics mg/kg given 2) to record the time to first analgesic postoperatively and 3) to compare Wong Baker and the 0-10 numeric pain distress scale scores at 12, 24 and 48 hours postoperatively. We hypothesize one 15mg/kg (up to 600mg) dose of gabapentin will decrease mean narcotic amounts in mg/kg compared to participants who do not receive preoperative gabapentin and will demonstrate a decreased mean time to first analgesic as well as to lower mean pain scores for each age group at 12, 24 and 48 hours.
Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) Analog
Gabapentin Enacarbil for Alzheimer's Disease
Recruiting2 awardsPhase 4
Austin, Texas
This trial is to study whether a sleep disorder, restless legs syndrome, may be a mechanism for nighttime agitation in Alzheimer's patients, and if treatment with gabapentin enacarbil (Horizant®) reduces nighttime agitation, improves sleep, reduces restless legs syndrome behaviors, and reduces antipsychotic medications.

Phase 3 Trials
Procedure
Opioid-Free Anesthesia for Colorectal Surgery Recovery
Recruiting4 awardsPhase 3
Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
This trial tests a new method of anesthesia without using opioids for patients undergoing certain types of surgery. The goal is to reduce the need for opioids after surgery and help patients recover bowel function faster. One of the main drugs used in this method is lidocaine, which can improve recovery and patient satisfaction.
Nonopioid Analgesia
Celecoxib +4 More for Drug Abuse
Recruiting3 awardsPhase 2 & 3
Detroit, Michigan
This is a randomized, single blinded, standard of care controlled clinical trial. This project aims to compare postoperative pain control in patients in two treatment arms of rotator cuff repair: a treatment group given a nonopioid pain control regimen, and a standard of care control group given standard opioid pain control regimen

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.
