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.

This trial tests whether wearing a soft back brace helps teenagers with low back pain from a stress reaction in the spine heal faster. It compares treatment with the brace to treatment without it.
This study tests whether shockwave therapy (a non-surgical treatment using sound waves) can help heal stress fractures or bone stress injuries in the lower body (pelvis, hip, thigh, shin, heel, or foot). It may help you recover faster and avoid surgery.
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 tests a spinal cord stimulator implant to treat chronic low back pain that hasn't improved with standard treatments. The goal is to see if it can reduce pain and improve function in people with a spinal cord injury.
