Pulse Energy and Blood Injection for Stubborn Back Pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a new treatment for stubborn low back pain that involves a short pulse of radio waves (a type of energy) and an injection of your own blood cells (called PRP) to help the muscles in your back work better. It is for people whose pain comes from a specific muscle problem and has not gone away with other care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a new type of treatment (high-voltage pulsed radiofrequency) that uses a special needle to deliver energy to the nerve root in your lower back. The goal is to see if it can reduce chronic leg pain caused by a pinched or irritated nerve.
This trial tests whether injections of a blood-based treatment called PRGF can help people with long-term low back pain caused by worn discs. It is for those who haven't gotten relief from standard treatments like medication.
This study compares two needle-based techniques to treat long-lasting low back pain by stopping overactive pain signals from specific back joints. If you’ve already tried physical therapy and pain medicines without enough relief, this trial may test which technique works better for pain reduction.
This study compares two treatments for chronic lower back pain that comes from the small facet joints in the spine. One treatment uses a shot of platelet-rich plasma (a concentration of your own healing cells), and the other uses radio waves to quiet the nerve that sends pain signals. The goal is to see which works better for lasting pain relief.
This trial tests a new type of electrical stimulation to reduce low back pain. It involves twice-weekly physical therapy sessions for up to 6 weeks.
This study tests a needle-based treatment called percutaneous electrolysis on the muscles in your lower back to reduce pain. Researchers will analyze how your body responds to understand why it might help with back pain.
