Low-frequency device for chronic low back pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a new device that uses very low-frequency electrical pulses to treat chronic low back pain. It is for people whose pain hasn't improved with other treatments and who are not candidates for stronger therapies.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had low back pain for at least 3 months, and it's worse than any leg pain.
- You have tried treatments like physical therapy, medications, or injections and they didn't help enough.
- You are 22 years old or older and can operate a small device.
- You are not on high doses of opioids (more than 100 mg of morphine per day).
- You have not had a spinal cord stimulator or similar device for pain before.

This trial tests a wearable device that uses mild electromagnetic pulses to see if it can reduce chronic low back pain. If you've tried other treatments without enough relief, this new technology might be a non-drug option for you.
This study is testing a take-home device that uses sound and gentle body stimulation to help with long-term back pain. It is for adults with chronic low back pain who live near the University of Minnesota and are not taking certain sleep or anxiety medications.
This study tests a new combination of electrical stimulation, LED light, and laser therapy for chronic lower back pain. If you qualify, you may get pain relief without surgery or strong medications.
This trial tests if a gentle ultrasound treatment to a specific part of the brain can help veterans with chronic back pain. It aims to see if targeting the insula can reduce pain that spreads to other areas of the body.
This study is looking at how people with chronic low back pain respond to spinal cord stimulation (a device that sends gentle electrical pulses to the spine to reduce pain). If you already have a spinal cord stimulator, you may help researchers understand how well it works and how it affects your brain.
This trial tests a digital health program combined with a TENS device (a small device that sends gentle electrical pulses to help with pain) for people with ongoing low back pain. It compares this approach to standard care, and you would be randomly assigned to one of the two groups.
