Brain Connectivity in Chronic Low Back Pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This research study uses MRI brain scans to understand how chronic low back pain changes the way your brain processes touch and movement. You'll interact with a special touch-sensitive surface while your brain activity is recorded, helping researchers develop better pain treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 45 years old
- You are right-handed
- You have no contraindications to MRI (no pacemakers or incompatible metal implants)
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding
- You can lie still inside an MRI machine for the scanning period
- You have no serious neurological or psychiatric conditions, and are not taking psychiatric medications

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses a safe, non-invasive cap with sensors (EEG) to measure your brain activity and look for patterns linked to chronic low back pain. It aims to better understand pain so doctors can improve treatments.
This study looks at how the brain, gut, and mind are linked in people with low back pain. It uses brain scans, stool samples, and psychological tests to understand what causes pain and how to better treat it.
This study tests if a non-invasive ear stimulation technique can change brain activity linked to chronic low back pain. You would have a brain scan before and after the treatment to see how your brain responds.
This study uses brain imaging (MRI scans) to look for “biomarkers” (measurable signs) that may relate to chronic low back pain. It compares people with long-lasting back pain to healthy volunteers to understand what brain patterns are linked to pain.
This trial tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation technique called tACS can help reduce chronic low back pain. Participants will have brain scans and receive the treatment over several sessions.
This trial tests if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique can help people with long-lasting low back pain. It uses mild electrical currents to adjust brain activity and may reduce pain and improve daily function.
