Electrolysis for chronic low back pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests if a treatment called electrolysis can help people with long-term low back pain. It targets specific muscle trigger points in the back to see if it reduces pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had low back pain for at least 6 months
- You are between 35 and 50 years old
- You have at least one active trigger point in a deep back muscle (the multifidus)
- You are not taking pain medications or receiving physical therapy for the trial period
- You are not afraid of needles
- You have not had spine or leg surgery, and do not have other nerve or muscle conditions

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two physical therapies—dry needling versus tecartherapy—to see which helps people with long-lasting, non-specific low back pain. You may be eligible if your pain has lasted more than 6 weeks and is not caused by nerve or serious underlying conditions.
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.
This study tests whether dry needling (thin needles placed into specific muscles) can reduce moderate, long-lasting lower back pain. It focuses on people who have pain from trigger points in a specific back muscle, rather than pain caused by other medical problems.
This study tests if a non-invasive device called TENS (which uses gentle electrical pulses) can help relieve low back pain that comes from muscle knots or tight bands. The device is applied to the skin over the painful area.
This trial tests if adding vibration to dry needling (a technique where thin needles are inserted into tight muscle spots) helps relieve low back pain more than dry needling alone. It is for people with ongoing low back pain that has lasted more than six weeks.
This trial compares two types of needle treatments for people with chronic low back pain lasting 3 months or longer. You'll receive either standard dry needling or a version with a mild electric current, both targeting specific back muscles.
