TENS for managing pain during lumbar injections
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a TENS device, which uses gentle electrical pulses to reduce pain, can make lumbar injections more comfortable for people with chronic low back pain caused by posterior joint syndrome.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had low back pain for more than 3 months
- You are being treated at a chronic pain clinic at Toulouse University Hospital
- You have been diagnosed with posterior joint syndrome (confirmed by CT or MRI)
- You are scheduled to receive an injection therapy for your back pain
- You do not have any metal implants (like a pacemaker) in your body

This study tests whether a single session of TENS (a pain-relieving electrical treatment applied to the skin) can reduce stiffness in the lower back muscles of young adults with chronic low back pain. If you have ongoing back pain, this treatment might help relax tight muscles.
This study tests if a non-invasive device called TENS (which uses gentle electrical pulses) can help relieve low back pain that comes from muscle knots or tight bands. The device is applied to the skin over the painful area.
This study tests whether transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), a non-drug pain treatment using small electrode pads on the skin, can help people with low back pain. You may be eligible if your back pain has lasted at least 3 months and your pain is at least moderate.
This trial tests a pain-relief device called TENS (a small machine that sends mild electrical pulses through your skin) for people with sudden, severe lower back pain in the emergency department. Researchers want to see if TENS can help reduce your pain quickly without extra medications.
This study tests whether a pain-relieving injection into the small joints of the lower spine can help people with chronic low back pain that hasn't improved with other treatments. The goal is to reduce pain and improve daily function.
This trial tests whether a device that sends mild electrical pulses through the skin (called TENS) can reduce acute low back pain in the emergency department. You will be randomly assigned to receive TENS plus standard care or standard care alone.
