Wearable device for long-lasting low back pain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a wearable device that uses mild electromagnetic pulses to see if it can reduce chronic low back pain. If you've tried other treatments without enough relief, this new technology might be a non-drug option for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 65 years old.
- Your low back pain must be at least a 5 on a 0–10 scale (where 10 is worst pain) and have lasted 3 months or more.
- Standard treatments like physical therapy or over-the-counter pain relievers haven't helped enough in the last 6 months.
- You must be able to attend 5 clinic appointments over about 3 months (13 weeks).
- You cannot have had back surgery in the last year, or have a pacemaker, certain metal implants, or be pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You must have a body mass index (BMI) of 35 or lower.

This trial tests a new device that uses very low-frequency electrical pulses to treat chronic low back pain. It is for people whose pain hasn't improved with other treatments and who are not candidates for stronger therapies.
This study is testing a take-home device that uses sound and gentle body stimulation to help with long-term back pain. It is for adults with chronic low back pain who live near the University of Minnesota and are not taking certain sleep or anxiety medications.
This study is looking at how people with chronic low back pain respond to spinal cord stimulation (a device that sends gentle electrical pulses to the spine to reduce pain). If you already have a spinal cord stimulator, you may help researchers understand how well it works and how it affects your brain.
This trial tests whether a gentle electric current applied to the back or spine can reduce pelvic pain that has lasted more than a year and hasn't improved with usual treatments. It compares two types of stimulation with a placebo (inactive) group to see which works best.
This trial tests whether magnetic fields applied to your back can relieve chronic lower back pain that has lasted at least 12 weeks. It's for people aged 18 to 64 who are willing to attend all study visits.
This study tests a new combination of electrical stimulation, LED light, and laser therapy for chronic lower back pain. If you qualify, you may get pain relief without surgery or strong medications.
