RReACT Database
The Repository of Registered Analgesic Clinical Trials (RReACT) database provides a snapshot of registered analgesic clinical trials and a scorecard for public availability of results. An overview of the RReACT database is provided by Greene et al. (2012), an update and global expansion is described by Munch et al. (2014), and the inclusion of two additional chronic pain conditions is presented by Dufka et al. (2015). Links to websites listed in the database may not still be active, and some studies may have had full publication of results since the most recent updating of the database. Links to the most recent version of the database follow:
Complex regional pain syndrome
Painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) database
Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) database
