Exercise and nerve stimulation for chronic back pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at whether combining exercise with a type of nerve stimulation (called neuromodulation) can help people with long-term spinal pain that has nerve involvement. It may be an option if you have had pain for at least 6 months and it is severe.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with a specific type of chronic spinal pain called PSPS-T2 (pain that spreads from the back into the legs).
- Your pain involves nerves (neuropathic pain), confirmed by a simple questionnaire.
- You are older than 18 years.
- Your pain has lasted for at least 6 months.
- Your average pain level in the last week is 7 or higher on a 0–10 scale.

This trial tests a type of spinal cord stimulation (DTM SCS) for people with chronic leg or foot pain caused by nerve damage (PSPS-T2). It aims to see if this treatment can safely reduce pain and improve daily life.
This study compares two ways of delivering spinal cord stimulation to see which better reduces pain in people with persistent spinal pain syndrome type 2. You would be assigned to one of the stimulation “burst” patterns and followed for changes in your pain experience.
This trial tests how much of the pain relief from spinal cord stimulation is due to the placebo effect. It is for people with ongoing leg pain after back surgery who have already tried other treatments without success.
This trial tests a non-invasive treatment that uses mild electrical stimulation on the skin over the spine to help relieve nerve-related pain in the lower back. It may be an option for people with chronic nerve pain, with or without pain spreading down the leg.
This study looks at how spinal cord stimulation (a device that sends mild signals to the spinal cord) affects nerve pain after lumbar surgery. It also aims to help predict who is most likely to improve and why, comparing patients with and without certain sensory symptoms.
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.
