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.
Who can take part
- 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.
- Your pain is at least a 4 on a 0–10 scale (the PEG pain question).
- You are not taking benzodiazepines or sedative-hypnotic medications.
- You do not have any of the medical conditions listed in the exclusion criteria (e.g., pacemaker, heart disease, epilepsy, cancer, certain back problems).

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 wearable device that uses mild electromagnetic pulses to see if it can reduce chronic low back pain. If you've tried other treatments without enough relief, this new technology might be a non-drug option for you.
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 study tests a new device that uses gentle electrical signals on the ear to help reduce chronic back pain. It may help if you've tried regular painkillers and physical therapy without enough relief.
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 is looking at how people with chronic low back pain respond to spinal cord stimulation (a device that sends gentle electrical pulses to the spine to reduce pain). If you already have a spinal cord stimulator, you may help researchers understand how well it works and how it affects your brain.
