Recruiting studies in California
- NCT07641504RecruitingPhase 2
Testing LY4065967 for chronic low back pain relief
This study tests whether a new medication called LY4065967 can reduce chronic low back pain. Researchers want to see if it works better than current treatments for people who have had lower back pain for at least 3 months.
Palm Springs, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06741579RecruitingPhase 3
Pain relief study for nerve injury pain
This trial tests how well two types of peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) devices relieve chronic pain caused by a single nerve injury. It looks for people who already have a referral for PNS therapy as part of their usual care and who have gotten at least 50% relief from a diagnostic nerve block.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06310226Recruiting
Studying spinal cord stimulation for chronic low back pain
This study is looking at how people with chronic low back pain respond to spinal cord stimulation (a device that sends gentle electrical pulses to the spine to reduce pain). If you already have a spinal cord stimulator, you may help researchers understand how well it works and how it affects your brain.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT05657964Recruiting
Study of a back pain exercise program for chronic low back pain
This trial tests whether a structured exercise/education program can help people with chronic lower back pain. You may qualify if your pain and disability scores are high enough and you can complete study activities in English.
Redwood City, CaliforniaAges 18–65 - NCT04982965RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Study brain changes behind cannabis pain relief
This early study looks at how the brain may respond to cannabis to reduce long-lasting lower back pain. You may be asked to follow strict rules about cannabis, opioids, and safety checks (including MRI) to help researchers understand the brain mechanisms.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 21–65 - NCT06282770Recruiting
Light therapy belt for lower back pain after spine surgery
This trial tests whether a special light therapy belt can help reduce long-term lower back pain you still have 1 to 5 years after spinal fusion or decompression surgery.

Study of CNTX-3001 for severe chronic low back pain
This trial tests a medicine called CNTX-3001, given as a spinal injection, for people with long-term, severe low back pain that hasn't improved with other treatments.
Napa, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT07652944Recruiting
Magnetic field therapy for chronic lower back pain
This trial tests whether magnetic fields applied to your back can relieve chronic lower back pain that has lasted at least 12 weeks. It's for people aged 18 to 64 who are willing to attend all study visits.
Edwards Air Force Base, CaliforniaAges 18–64 - NCT06661850Recruiting
Using Nociscan to guide discogenic low back pain surgery
This trial tests whether using a tool called Nociscan helps improve outcomes in people having surgery for low back pain caused by damaged discs. It may help doctors decide which discs need treatment.
Beverly Hills, CaliforniaAges 18–70 - NCT06080464Recruiting
Doctor satisfaction with VERABAND™ for chronic low back pain
This study tests how satisfied doctors are with a wearable device called VERABAND™ that monitors movement in people with chronic low back pain. If your pain limits your ability to move, you may be able to help researchers understand if this device is useful during your regular non-surgical treatment.

What taking part in a back pain lower back chronic study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
