Low back pain treatment study: injection and mobilization
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests two treatments for chronic low back pain: a special injection of dextrose (a sugar solution) guided by ultrasound, and a technique to mobilize the fascia (connective tissue) in the lower back. It aims to see if these help people who haven't found relief from standard treatments.

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 study is testing whether injecting a medication into the small joints at the back of the spine can relieve chronic low back pain that hasn't improved with other treatments. It focuses on people whose scans show these joints might be causing the pain.
This study looks at the tissue in your lower back using ultrasound and physical exams. It tests a treatment to see if it helps people with new or long-term low back pain, and also compares results to people without pain.
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.
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. It is for people who have had low back pain for at least 3 months, have not had previous back surgery, and have not received similar injections recently.
This trial tests whether injecting sore “trigger points” in low back muscles helps improve chronic low back pain. It compares treatments in people with specific low back muscle pain patterns and excludes several other causes of pain.
