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.
