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 compares two types of exercise-based rehabilitation programs for chronic low back pain in adults aged 60 and older. The goal is to find which approach better reduces pain and improves daily function.
This study looks at how your body processes pain during physical activity if you have long-lasting low back pain. It aims to understand the link between pain sensitivity and your overall well-being, which could help improve future treatments.
This trial tests different exercise programs for overweight men with long-term (over 3 months) lower back pain. It aims to see if exercise can help reduce pain that may be linked to how the nervous system processes pain signals.
This trial measures how well you can use your arms and how strong your breathing and other muscles are if you have chronic low back pain. It aims to understand the links between these factors to improve future treatments.
This study tests a combination of two non-drug treatments for chronic low back pain: pain neuroscience education (learning about how pain works) and lumbar stabilization exercises (strengthening the muscles that support your spine). The goal is to reduce disability and the fear of movement that often comes with chronic pain.
