Brain stimulation for chronic low back pain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique can help people with long-lasting low back pain. It uses mild electrical currents to adjust brain activity and may reduce pain and improve daily function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age between 18 and 75 years
- Low back pain for at least half the days in the past six months
- Pain score of 4 or higher on a 0–10 scale in the last week
- Pain-related disability that affects daily activities

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 study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique that uses gentle electrical currents to target the part of the brain involved in pain processing. It may help reduce chronic lower back pain that is not caused by a specific injury or condition.
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.
This study tests whether a gentle electrical treatment placed on the skin near the spine can reduce chronic low back pain. If you qualify, you’ll try the stimulation and complete several assessments over a day, so the team can measure any pain and function changes.
