High-Intensity Laser Therapy for Chronic Leg Pain from Herniated Disc
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a type of high-intensity laser therapy (HILT) can help relieve leg pain caused by a herniated disc in the lower back. It is for people who have not had recent back treatments or surgery.

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 study tests whether adding a steroid injection to a laser procedure helps relieve leg pain from a herniated disc in the lower back. It may be an option for patients who haven't gotten better with other treatments.
This study tests a treatment that uses magnetic pulses through the spine to reduce nerve pain caused by a herniated disc pressing on a nerve in your lower back. The goal is to see if this painless, non-invasive therapy can help improve your symptoms.
This study tests whether high-intensity laser therapy can reduce pain from a herniated disc in your lower back. A herniated disc is when the inner material of a spinal disc pushes out and irritates nearby nerves.
This study tests a high-intensity laser treatment to reduce hip pain and improve function in people with greater trochanteric pain syndrome (pain on the outside of the hip). It may help if you've had hip pain for at least 3 months and haven't had recent injections or other conservative treatments.
This trial tests high-intensity laser therapy as a treatment for mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. It aims to see if the laser can improve symptoms and hand function without surgery or injections.
