Brain stimulation for chronic low back pain

This trial tests a wearable device that stimulates a nerve in your ear to help manage long-lasting back pain. It's designed for people whose pain hasn't improved with standard pain medications.

This trial tests whether a percussive massage device with a heat attachment can reduce chronic low back pain. If you have had low back pain for at least 3 months and it is not too mild or too severe, this treatment might help.

This trial tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation technique called tACS can help reduce chronic low back pain. Participants will have brain scans and receive the treatment over several sessions.

This trial tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment can improve physiotherapy results for people with long-lasting low back pain. You may be asked to do questionnaires and follow a treatment plan, and some people may be able to reduce pain or improve function.

This study tests whether a gentle, non-invasive electrical brain stimulation technique (called high-definition tDCS) can improve balance in older adults with chronic low back pain. Participants receive either real or sham stimulation during balance training sessions.

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.
