Comparing different treatments for chronic pain conditions

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study aims to evaluate various independent interventions for chronic pain, including osteoarthritis, chronic low back pain, and diabetic neuropathic pain. It utilizes a master protocol that allows for the inclusion of multiple intervention-specific appendices (ISAs) as new treatments become available. Participants will be assessed based on specific entry criteria and unique scales tailored to their pain conditions. The study will compare the effectiveness of these interventions against a placebo to determine their efficacy in managing chronic pain.

Why it matters

Who can join: the full rules

Inclusion Criteria:

* have a visual analog scale (VAS) pain value ≥40 and \<95 at screening and prerandomization screening.
* have a history of daily pain for at least 12 weeks based on participant report or medical history
* have a value of ≤30 on the pain catastrophizing scale
* are willing to maintain a consistent regimen of any ongoing nonpharmacologic pain-relieving therapies (for example, physical therapy) and/or nutritional supplements and will not start any new nonpharmacologic pain-relieving therapies and/or nutritional supplements during study participation
* are willing to discontinue all medications taken for chronic pain conditions, except rescue medication for the duration of the study

Exclusion Criteria:

* have second- or third-degree atrioventricular (AV) heart block or AV dissociation or history of ventricular tachycardia
* have had a procedure within the past 6 months intended to produce permanent sensory loss in the target area of interest (for example, ablation techniques)
* have surgery planned during the study for any reason, related or not to the disease state under evaluation.
* have, in the judgment of the investigator, an acute, serious, or unstable medical condition or a history or presence of any other medical illness that would preclude study participation.
* have had cancer within 2 years of baseline, except for cutaneous basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma resolved by excision.
* have fibromyalgia
* have any clinically important abnormality at screening, as determined by investigator, in physical or neurological examination, vital signs, electrocardiogram (ECG), or clinical laboratory test results that could be detrimental to the participant or could compromise the study.
* have a positive human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) test result at screening
* have a history of alcohol, illicit drug, analgesic or narcotic use disorder within 2 years prior to screening.
