This trial tests if combining pain neuroscience education with sensory discrimination training helps people with chronic low back pain. It aims to re-train how the brain processes pain signals to reduce pain intensity.
This trial tests a stabilization training program using biofeedback (a device that shows you how your muscles are working) to treat chronic low back pain. It may help you strengthen the muscles supporting your spine and reduce your pain.
This study tests an online class that teaches you about how your brain and nerves process pain, to help you manage chronic low back pain. It is a long-term program you can join from home.
This research study uses MRI brain scans to understand how chronic low back pain changes the way your brain processes touch and movement. You'll interact with a special touch-sensitive surface while your brain activity is recorded, helping researchers develop better pain treatments.
This study tests whether combining hands-on physical therapy with sensory training (to improve how your brain senses your back) can reduce pain and change how you perceive your body. It is for people with long-term low back pain who are eligible for military healthcare.
This trial studies how meditation may change brain activity and help people with long-lasting low back pain who are already taking prescription opioids. The goal is to understand the “neural” (brain) effects of meditation to improve pain treatment.
