Bone stimulator for back stress fractures
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a bone stimulator device can help heal a specific type of spinal stress fracture (spondylolysis) in people aged 16 to 40 who are active in sports and plan to do physical therapy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 16 and 40 years old
- You have been diagnosed with a stress fracture in your lower back (spondylolysis)
- You plan to attend prescribed physical therapy
- You regularly play a sport, whether for fun, in college, or professionally
- You do not use nicotine products (cigarettes, vaping, chewing tobacco)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether a conservative approach (like rest and gradual activity) is safe for teenage soccer players with a mild stress reaction in the lower back bones. It is designed for young athletes who have pain with sports and want to avoid more aggressive treatments.
This trial studies whether a soft spinal brace (or no brace) helps children and teens with a new stress-type injury in the lower spine seen on MRI. It aims to see if bracing improves pain and healing when there is no fracture line.
This trial tests if wearing a back brace combined with exercise helps people with a specific type of low back problem called spondylolisthesis (where a spine bone slips forward). It may reduce pain and improve function.
This trial tests a 60-day nerve stimulation treatment to reduce pain and improve mobility after a recent spine fracture caused by osteoporosis. It may help patients who still have significant pain despite over-the-counter pain relievers.
This trial tests if placing electrodes near the injury site and in the lower back can help people with spinal cord injury recover movement or function. You must have had the injury for more than 2 years.
This trial studies a targeted spinal cord stimulation therapy to reduce severe, long-lasting pain. It may help people whose pain is due to failed back surgery and who can safely use the implanted system.
