Ultrasound treatment for complex back pain patients
Part of Mental health, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a new, non-invasive ultrasound treatment for people with long-term back pain who also have opioid use disorder and anxiety. It aims to see if this gentle brain stimulation can reduce pain and improve quality of life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have chronic back pain that has lasted at least 3 months and has been a problem on most days for the past 6 months.
- You are in treatment for opioid use disorder (such as taking buprenorphine or methadone).

- You do not have metal implants or other reasons that would make an MRI unsafe.

This trial tests a gentle, noninvasive ultrasound treatment (LIFU) for people with either chronic pain or generalized anxiety. The goal is to see if this focused sound wave approach can help reduce symptoms without surgery or medication.
This study tests a noninvasive treatment called low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) to help relieve chronic pain. It may be an option if you have had moderate to severe pain for at least 3 months.
This study tests whether focused ultrasound (a non-invasive treatment using sound waves) can help people with chronic back pain who also have opioid use disorder and anxiety. It aims to find a better way to manage pain without relying on opioids.
This trial uses focused ultrasound (sound waves aimed at a specific part of the brain) to help people who have severe opioid addiction that hasn't gotten better with other treatments. It may help reduce cravings and support recovery.
This study tests whether ultrasound (sound waves, not imaging) applied to nerves near the skin can reduce chronic pain. Researchers will place small ultrasound devices on your skin over specific nerves and measure whether the pain improves.
This study looks at the tissue in your lower back using ultrasound and physical exams. It tests a treatment to see if it helps people with new or long-term low back pain, and also compares results to people without pain.
