Light therapy belt for lower back pain after spine surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special light therapy belt can help reduce long-term lower back pain you still have 1 to 5 years after spinal fusion or decompression surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had minimally invasive spinal fusion or decompression surgery on your lower back (L1-S1) between 1 and 5 years ago.
- You have had lower back pain for more than 3 months, and rate it as more than 4 on a 0–10 pain scale.
- You are older than 18 and speak English.
- You do not have active cancer, infection, serious spine conditions (like severe spinal stenosis), or a skin condition that keeps you from using a laser belt.
- You have no history of drug misuse.

This trial compares outcomes after decompression surgery for one affected area in the lower back, with and without adding spinal fusion. It may help patients avoid unnecessary extra surgery—or ensure fusion is used when it’s needed.
This study tests a new combination of electrical stimulation, LED light, and laser therapy for chronic lower back pain. If you qualify, you may get pain relief without surgery or strong medications.
This study tests a combination of high-intensity laser therapy (a painless light treatment) and a gentle hands-on technique called 'Mulligan mobilization' to see if it helps reduce chronic low back pain. The goal is to find a non-surgical way to improve your pain and movement.
This study tests whether high-intensity laser therapy can reduce lower back pain caused by a herniated disc in the lower spine. It could be a non-surgical option to help you feel better and move more easily.
This study tests two non-drug treatments for low back pain caused by muscle knots: gentle pressure (ischemic compression) and low-level laser therapy. These treatments aim to relax the knots and reduce pain without surgery or medication.
This trial studies a gentle form of laser acupuncture to see if it can reduce chronic low back pain. It is a low-level laser treatment, meaning it uses a laser light without needles, and may offer a drug-free option for pain relief.
