Exercise and Immune Response in Chronic Back Pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how a single session of exercise affects your immune system and nervous system. It may help researchers find new ways to treat chronic low back pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have chronic low back pain that has lasted for at least 3 months or came and went over the past 6 months.
- Your average low back pain is at least 4 out of 10 on a pain scale.
- Your back pain is not caused by a serious condition (like a fracture, infection, or cancer) or by nerve damage.
- You do not have another pain that is worse than your low back pain.
- You are not currently doing more than 60 minutes of planned exercise each week.
- You do not have diabetes, a neurological or psychiatric disorder, or serious heart or lung problems that would make exercise unsafe.
- You are able to have an MRI (no metal implants, pacemaker, or pregnancy).

This study tests whether a combination of general and water-based exercises can help reduce chronic low back pain. It aims to see if adding aquatic exercise to your routine improves pain and function.
This study tests if a therapy focused on specific impairments works better than a general exercise program for older adults with long-term low back pain. It aims to find which approach helps reduce pain and improve daily function.
This trial tests whether a percussive massage device with a heat attachment can reduce chronic low back pain. If you have had low back pain for at least 3 months and it is not too mild or too severe, this treatment might help.
This study tests whether a simple, still (isometric) exercise can reduce how sensitive you are to pain. It is for adults with long-term low back pain who can safely do physical therapy exercises.
This study tests whether different exercise programs can help overweight men with long-term low back pain that has lasted more than 3 months. It focuses on men with a body mass index (BMI) between 25 and 29.9, who also have specific signs of heightened pain sensitivity.
