Brain stimulation therapy for chronic low back pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part

- Your average pain in the past week is at least 3 out of 10
- You may have pain going to the knee (with or without it)

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 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.
This trial studies deep brain stimulation (DBS) to reduce severe low back pain that hasn’t improved after many standard treatments and procedures. It may help people whose pain is long-lasting and not fixable with another surgery.
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 early brain stimulation (tDCS) combined with rehab can help prevent pain after a stroke. It's for people who have had a stroke within the last 7 to 45 days in specific brain areas and have some movement or sensation problems.
This study tests a device that delivers mild electrical stimulation to the brain from home to help reduce chronic nerve pain. It focuses on people whose pain has not improved enough despite stable pain medicines.
