Recruiting studies in Pennsylvania
- NCT06827262Recruiting
A procedure for vertebrogenic back pain relief
This trial tests a minimally invasive procedure that uses a special device to target and treat nerve-related back pain coming from the vertebrae (the bones in your spine). It may offer lasting relief without more major surgery.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - 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.
Duncansville, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05986292RecruitingPhase 2
Study of new treatments for chronic pain
This study tests new treatments for chronic pain that lasts at least 3 months. Participants must stop their regular pain medicines and use only a rescue painkiller if needed. The goal is to find better ways to manage long-term pain.
Wyomissing, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06825390Recruiting
Ear stimulation and brain imaging for chronic low back pain
This study tests if a non-invasive ear stimulation technique can change brain activity linked to chronic low back pain. You would have a brain scan before and after the treatment to see how your brain responds.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07133139Recruiting
Dry needling for chronic low back pain
This study tests whether a treatment called dry needling (using thin needles on muscle knots) helps people with long-term low back pain tied to muscle tightness. It is for those who have not tried this treatment before and whose main pain is in the lower back.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 20–70 - NCT07190807Recruiting
Optimizing spinal cord stimulation for chronic back and leg pain
This trial tests if a spinal cord stimulator with a new way of adjusting electrical settings (called independent current control) can better manage chronic pain in the back, trunk, or limbs. The goal is to find more effective sequences to reduce pain and improve daily life.
Trevose, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06013878Recruiting
Testing a tool for caregivers who help with transfers
This study tests a special instrument to measure how caregivers help people with physical disabilities move from one place to another (transfers). It may help improve safety and technique for both caregivers and care recipients.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05504499Recruiting
Test a new implant for low back pain with mild narrowing
This trial studies a new spine implant placed between the bones to help relieve low back pain. You may be a candidate if imaging shows mild-to-moderate spinal narrowing and you’ve already tried non-surgical treatments for at least 3 months.

What taking part in a low back pain 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.

- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Pennsylvania to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Pennsylvania, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a low back pain trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
