Westmecklenburg Klinikum Helene von Buelow GmbH

At Westmecklenburg Klinikum Helene von Buelow GmbH, the Center for Pain and Back Therapy is focused on pathological conditions, signs and symptoms related to persistent pain. The clinical trials in this area center on understanding and improving care for people living with long-lasting pain conditions.

• Chronic pain due to diabetic polyneuropathy
• Chronic pain from traumatic or post-operative peripheral neuropathy
• Chronic pain linked to central neuropathy
• Chronic back pain

These studies are designed to evaluate a new add-on treatment and to better understand its potential to relieve pain and improve daily functioning for patients with difficult-to-treat nerve and back pain.

The site is also conducting research into neuropathic pain, with a particular emphasis on pain caused by nerve damage or dysfunction. This work aims to test whether a new therapy can provide meaningful symptom relief in people affected by different forms of nerve-related pain.

• Diabetic nerve pain
• Peripheral nerve pain after trauma or surgery
• Central nerve pain of varied origin

By studying several related conditions, the trials explore whether treatment benefits extend across multiple neuropathic pain types rather than only one diagnosis.

Research at this hospital in Hagenow includes trials for chronic back pain, a major cause of ongoing discomfort and reduced quality of life. The studies are focused on assessing treatment effectiveness and tolerability in routine clinical care settings.

• Long-term back pain management
• Symptom relief and improved function
• Evaluation of a supportive add-on therapy

This area of research reflects a broader effort to improve treatment options for patients with persistent musculoskeletal pain.

The overall trial portfolio is small but highly focused, with studies examining whether a new supportive treatment can help patients with chronic pain from different causes. The research combines pain medicine and neurology to address both nerve-related and back-related pain conditions.

• Testing a new add-on therapy for persistent pain
• Improving symptom control across multiple pain conditions
• Supporting better treatment choices for patients and clinicians

With a single investigator and four trials, the Center for Pain and Back Therapy is building practical evidence to support more effective care for people living with chronic pain.
