Ultrasound treatment for mechanical low back pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial studies a new way to treat mechanical low back pain using high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), which uses sound waves to target the nerves that may be causing your pain. If you have mechanical low back pain that improves with a nerve block, you may qualify for this study.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have mechanical low back pain (pain from movement or strain, not from other causes).
- A nerve block injection reduced your pain by at least 30 percent.
- You have not had back surgery at the level where the treatment would be applied.
- You do not have a pacemaker or other implanted electrical device.

This trial tests if a gentle ultrasound treatment to a specific part of the brain can help veterans with chronic back pain. It aims to see if targeting the insula can reduce pain that spreads to other areas of the body.
This study tests a noninvasive treatment called low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) to help relieve chronic pain. It may be an option if you have had moderate to severe pain for at least 3 months.
This study tests a new, non-invasive ultrasound treatment for people with long-term back pain who also have opioid use disorder and anxiety. It aims to see if this gentle brain stimulation can reduce pain and improve quality of life.
This study tests whether a procedure that uses focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) and/or a radiofrequency nerve treatment can reduce long-lasting low back pain caused by facet-joint arthritis. It may help people whose pain improves strongly after a targeted numbing injection to specific back nerves.
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 study tests whether focused ultrasound (a non-invasive treatment using sound waves) can help people with chronic back pain who also have opioid use disorder and anxiety. It aims to find a better way to manage pain without relying on opioids.
