Mobile brain training to help low back pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether mobile “neurofeedback” training can reduce low back pain and improve how much it affects your daily life. You would likely use sensors that measure brain and body signals to guide the training.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your low back pain has been going on for more than 3 months
- Your low back pain has happened at least half the days over the past 6 months
- You do not have a history of seizures
- You are not planning pain-related back surgery in the next 9 months
- You do not have implanted devices that could interfere with monitoring (like a pacemaker or spinal cord stimulator)
- Your recent pain and daily interference are not too low (pain and interference must each be at least 4 out of 10)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests if a therapy that uses special sensors to help you relax your back muscles (called surface EMG biofeedback) can reduce chronic low back pain. If you have ongoing low back pain for at least 3 months, you may be able to join.
This trial tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation technique called tACS can help reduce chronic low back pain. Participants will have brain scans and receive the treatment over several sessions.
This trial tests a stabilization training program using biofeedback (a device that shows you how your muscles are working) to treat chronic low back pain. It may help you strengthen the muscles supporting your spine and reduce your pain.
This trial tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment can improve physiotherapy results for people with long-lasting low back pain. You may be asked to do questionnaires and follow a treatment plan, and some people may be able to reduce pain or improve function.
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.
This study tests whether a gentle, non-invasive electrical brain stimulation technique (called high-definition tDCS) can improve balance in older adults with chronic low back pain. Participants receive either real or sham stimulation during balance training sessions.
