Biofeedback therapy for chronic low back pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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.
This trial tests whether an active music-based program can help reduce chronic low back pain. It is for adults aged 18 to 65 whose pain has lasted at least 3 months and has been present on most days.
This study tests whether a gentle electrical treatment placed on the skin near the spine can reduce chronic low back pain. If you qualify, you’ll try the stimulation and complete several assessments over a day, so the team can measure any pain and function changes.
This study looks at how people with long-term back pain move. It aims to understand movement patterns in chronic back pain, which could help design better treatments.
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.
