Joint injection for chronic low back pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a pain-relieving injection into the small joints of the lower spine can help people with chronic low back pain that hasn't improved with other treatments. The goal is to reduce pain and improve daily function.

This study tests two treatments for chronic low back pain: a special injection of dextrose (a sugar solution) guided by ultrasound, and a technique to mobilize the fascia (connective tissue) in the lower back. It aims to see if these help people who haven't found relief from standard treatments.
This study focuses on people with long-lasting low back pain that likely comes from the small “facet” joints in the lower spine. It aims to better understand brain, psychological, and biology changes to help optimize treatment for this type of back pain.
This study compares two treatments for long-lasting low back and leg pain caused by a herniated disc: high-intensity laser therapy and a steroid shot near the spine. Researchers want to see which option works better to reduce pain.
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 follows adults with long-lasting low back pain to learn what predicts who improves after a specific type of back joint injection. It mainly helps doctors understand which factors relate to better or worse outcomes over time.
This study tests whether a special injection made from umbilical cord tissue is safe and can help with long-term low back pain. It is for adults who have not had recent back procedures or certain health problems.
