Erector spinae plane block versus transcutaneous radiofrequency for postherpetic neuralgia
This project will see if erector spinae plane block or transcutaneous radiofrequency works better to reduce pain in adults with postherpetic neuralgia.
-
Transcutaneous pulsed radiofrequency for postherpetic neuralgia pain
This study will try a non-invasive pulsed radiofrequency treatment applied through the skin to reduce pain in adults with postherpetic neuralgia who have not responded to standard treatments.
-
Venlafaxine to prevent postherpetic neuralgia after shingles
This study will test whether giving venlafaxine to adults with recent shingles reduces the chance of developing postherpetic neuralgia.
-
Y-4 for postherpetic neuralgia
This will test whether Y-4 reduces nerve pain in adults with postherpetic neuralgia compared with pregabalin.
-
Ultrasound-guided erector spinae block with betamethasone for truncal postherpetic neuralgia
This will test whether adding an ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block with betamethasone to standard care reduces pain in adults with truncal postherpetic neuralgia.
-
Esketamine with Pregabalin and Duloxetine for Pain Relief in Postherpetic Neuralgia
This study is testing if combining esketamine with pregabalin and duloxetine can help people with postherpetic neuralgia find faster and better pain relief when pregabalin alone hasn’t worked.
-
Evaluating Peripheral Nerve Stimulation for Postherpetic Neuralgia
This study is testing if a new nerve stimulation treatment can help people with postherpetic neuralgia manage their pain better.

Quick answers
How many Postherpetic Neuralgia clinical trials are recruiting right now?
7, as of November 12, 2026. We update this list each time we refresh our data from ClinicalTrials.gov.
Where are these trials running?
In 3 countries. The most sites are in China (4 trials), Turkey (Türkiye) (2 trials), Egypt (1 trial). Each study page lists its sites and which ones are recruiting.
What phases are they in?
Phase 2: 1. Trials with no phase listed are usually device, behavioural or observational studies.
How do I join one?
Open a study, check the "Is this trial a fit for you?" section, then contact the study team listed on the page. They will ask a few screening questions. Asking is free and does not commit you to anything. Talk it over with your doctor first.
