Game-Based Wearable Sensors to Help Core Muscles and Back Pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a wearable belt with sensors and haptic feedback (gentle vibrations) combined with interactive gaming to help strengthen your core muscles and reduce lower back pain. The goal is to make exercise more engaging and effective for chronic back pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have had non-specific lower back pain for at least 6 weeks in the past year
- Your back pain is at least 4 out of 10 in severity, or it limits your daily activities by 20% or more
- You have not had spinal surgery or invasive spinal procedures in the past 3 months
- You do not have serious spinal conditions like infection, cancer recurrence, or nerve damage symptoms
- You are able to safely do light-to-moderate exercise without severe heart or lung problems

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 whether a wearable setup can measure spine health during training and daily movement. It may help improve how military members with or without neck or low back pain are monitored and supported.
This trial tests a motorized lumbar support device to see if it can relieve non-specific lower back pain. It may help if your pain gets better with gentle stretching or pulling of the spine (called manual traction).
This study tests whether adding an extra foam pad to a lumbar belt makes it more comfortable and how it affects your body. You will be asked to wear the belt, walk on a treadmill, and have an MRI.
This trial tests whether combining electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) with gentle body awareness exercises can reduce chronic low back pain more than exercises alone. It may be an option if you have had low back pain for at least 3 months with no specific cause found.
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.
