Pain clinical studies refer to studies designed to advance and promote the understanding of analgesic effects (pain relief) resulting from treatments for pain. These treatments may include medicines or other techniques believed to relieve pain or help people better cope with pain. UAB currently has clinical trial studies examining pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments for various chronic pain conditions.
