First seen Apr 17, 2026 · Last updated May 22, 2026 · Updated 7 times
Summary
This study tests whether a very low dose of naltrexone, a drug usually used for addiction, can reduce chronic nerve pain in people with HIV. Researchers will enroll 60 adults with HIV and neuropathic pain to take the drug for 12 weeks and report their pain levels. The goal is to find a safer, non-opioid option for pain relief that might also improve immune function.
