Radiofrequency therapy for low back pain from disc herniation
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests if a type of radiofrequency treatment (TECAR therapy) can reduce pain and improve function and quality of life for people with low back pain caused by a herniated disc. It involves an exercise program along with the treatment.

This study tests whether electroacupuncture (a gentle form of acupuncture with mild electrical pulses) can safely reduce pain from a herniated disc in the lower back that also causes leg pain. It may be a good option if you have had chronic back and leg pain for at least 3 months and haven't had surgery or recent physical therapy.
This trial tests whether tecar therapy, a type of heat-based treatment, can reduce pain and improve function in people with chronic knee osteoarthritis. If you have had knee pain for at least 6 weeks and are between 40 and 75 years old, this study might be a good fit.
This study tests a type of therapy called Tecar therapy for people with long-term neck pain (lasting 3 months or more). It aims to see if it helps reduce pain and improve function better than standard care.
This study tests whether a type of high-intensity laser therapy (HILT) can help relieve leg pain caused by a herniated disc in the lower back. It is for people who have not had recent back treatments or surgery.
This trial tests whether Tecar therapy (a type of heat treatment) can reduce leg pain caused by a pinched nerve in the lower back. It's for people with one-sided leg pain that has lasted between 6 weeks and 6 months.
This study tests whether TECAR therapy—a heat-based treatment that uses electrical energy—can reduce neck pain and improve movement in people with chronic neck stiffness. TECAR stands for capacitive and resistive energy transfer, a non-invasive technique that may help relieve pain and restore mobility.
