BeirutAges 18–80 - NCT07214844Recruiting
Freezing vs. heating nerves for chronic low back pain
This study compares two procedures to treat long-term low back pain from the small joints in your spine. One uses extreme cold, the other uses heat to stop pain signals. It may help if you have had at least three months of back pain and other treatments haven't worked.
The Bronx, New YorkAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT07163546Enrolling by invitation
Lifestyle redesign for chronic low back pain
This trial tests a person-centered lifestyle program to help people with chronic low back pain learn new ways to manage daily activities and reduce pain. It may be a good fit if you have had low back pain for at least 3 months and are looking for non-surgical support.
Ankara, AltındağAges 18–65 - NCT06533917Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation for chronic abdominal pain
This trial tests whether spinal cord stimulation (a device that sends mild electrical pulses to nerves in your spine) can reduce chronic abdominal pain that hasn't improved with standard care. It might be an option if you've tried medications or nerve blocks without success.
LeedsAges 18–130 - NCT07617623Recruiting
Telerehabilitation vs. clinic-based therapy for chronic neck pain
This study compares two ways of treating long-lasting neck pain: doing exercises at home via video call with a therapist versus coming to a clinic in person. Both approaches include education about how pain works in the nervous system, which may help reduce fear around movement and improve daily function.
LahoreAges 18–40 - NCT06761300Recruiting
Psychology and spinal cord stimulation for chronic pain
This trial studies how psychological assessment can help people with long-term pain who are getting Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS)—a treatment that uses mild electrical pulses to block pain signals. You may join if you've had chronic pain for at least 6 months, are eligible for SCS, and speak Italian.
Milan, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT05726331Recruiting
Tai chi and chiropractic for long-term neck pain

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for chronic spinal pain?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 253 recruiting chronic spinal pain studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a chronic spinal pain trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a chronic spinal pain trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
