Tracking pain patterns after low back joint injections
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study follows adults with long-lasting low back pain to learn what predicts who improves after a specific type of back joint injection. It mainly helps doctors understand which factors relate to better or worse outcomes over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study is testing whether injecting a medication into the small joints at the back of the spine can relieve chronic low back pain that hasn't improved with other treatments. It focuses on people whose scans show these joints might be causing the pain.
This study focuses on people with long-lasting low back pain that likely comes from the small “facet” joints in the lower spine. It aims to better understand brain, psychological, and biology changes to help optimize treatment for this type of back pain.
This trial tests whether injecting regenerative cells made from your body’s fat can reduce pain from facet joint osteoarthritis in the low back. It focuses on people whose pain has lasted months and did not improve with standard care, after a positive diagnostic injection test.
This trial tests whether injecting sore “trigger points” in low back muscles helps improve chronic low back pain. It compares treatments in people with specific low back muscle pain patterns and excludes several other causes of pain.
This study tests two treatments for chronic low back pain: a special injection of dextrose (a sugar solution) guided by ultrasound, and a technique to mobilize the fascia (connective tissue) in the lower back. It aims to see if these help people who haven't found relief from standard treatments.
This study tests whether a brief hands-on spinal adjustment can affect pain and inflammation markers in people with long-term low back pain. It aims to see if psychological factors like expectations influence how well the treatment works.
