Comparing two injections for low back pain relief
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of injections—one standard anti-inflammatory drug and one simple sugar water solution—to see which works better for treating low back pain in an emergency setting. If you are an adult between 18 and 55 with isolated low back pain, this study may help find a more effective pain treatment.

One injection uses a simple sugar solution (dextrose), and the other uses a standard numbing medication (local anesthetic). The goal is to see which works better for reducing pain and improving knee function.
This study compares two ways of injecting a sugar-water solution (5% dextrose) into the shoulder to treat partial rotator cuff tears. It may help reduce pain and improve shoulder function without surgery.
This study compares two treatments for long-lasting low back and leg pain caused by a herniated disc: high-intensity laser therapy and a steroid shot near the spine. Researchers want to see which option works better to reduce pain.
This trial tests a treatment called prolotherapy, which uses injections of a sugar solution into specific acupuncture points to help relieve chronic low back pain.
