Home Device Using Sound and Body Stimulation for Back Pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study is testing a take-home device that uses sound and gentle body stimulation to help with long-term back pain. It is for adults with chronic low back pain who live near the University of Minnesota and are not taking certain sleep or anxiety medications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years old or older.
- You live within commuting distance of the University of Minnesota.
- You have had low back pain for more than 3 months.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a digital health program combined with a TENS device (a small device that sends gentle electrical pulses to help with pain) for people with ongoing low back pain. It compares this approach to standard care, and you would be randomly assigned to one of the two groups.
This trial tests a new device that uses very low-frequency electrical pulses to treat chronic low back pain. It is for people whose pain hasn't improved with other treatments and who are not candidates for stronger therapies.
This trial tests a wearable device that stimulates a nerve in your ear to help manage long-lasting back pain. It's designed for people whose pain hasn't improved with standard pain medications.
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 trial tests a device that uses electrical stimulation, LED, and laser light to treat chronic low back pain. It may help if you've had back pain for over 3 months and can lie down for 30 minutes during treatment.
This study tests a wearable device called Octane Aether that uses electromagnetic fields to treat chronic low back pain. If your pain hasn't improved with physical therapy or over-the-counter medications, this trial may help determine if the device works for you.
