Yes — this is a major research focus. Non-opioid trials include novel sodium channel blockers, anti-NGF antibodies, cannabinoid-based medicines, neuromodulation devices, VR therapy, and digital pain management programmes.
Fibromyalgia trials specifically target central sensitisation (amplified pain processing). General chronic pain trials may focus on neuropathic pain (nerve damage), nociceptive pain (tissue damage), or mixed pain types. Some trials accept both.
Some trials allow stable medication regimens, while others require a washout period. Many non-pharmacological trials (devices, digital therapies, psychological approaches) allow concurrent medication. Check specific trial criteria.

Talk to your GP or specialist about any trials you are interested in. They can help determine if a trial is appropriate for you.
