Sensory training for chronic low back pain
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two types of sensory training (using a device versus manual techniques) to see which is better for reducing chronic low back pain. It may help you if you have had back pain for at least 3 months and score high on a test for central sensitization.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests two types of therapy for ongoing low back pain: learning about how pain works (pain education) and training your sense of touch (sensory discrimination). The goal is to help your brain process pain better and reduce discomfort.
This trial tests a stabilization training program using biofeedback (a device that shows you how your muscles are working) to treat chronic low back pain. It may help you strengthen the muscles supporting your spine and reduce your pain.
This study tests a program that combines learning about how pain works with specific exercises to help people who have had low back pain for at least 3 months and are sensitive to pain. The goal is to reduce pain and improve daily function.
This study tests if a non-invasive device called TENS (which uses gentle electrical pulses) can help relieve low back pain that comes from muscle knots or tight bands. The device is applied to the skin over the painful area.
This trial tests a computer program that uses smell training to help people with chronic low back pain. It aims to reduce pain by retraining brain connections.
This study looks at how back muscle features can help tailor an exercise program for people with recurring, non-specific low back pain. It may help by matching exercises to your specific back function and symptoms.
