TENS to reduce pain during back joint injections
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a mild electrical stimulation patch (TENS) can help reduce pain during a back injection procedure for chronic low back pain caused by posterior joint problems. The goal is to make the injection more comfortable for patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Chronic low back pain lasting more than 3 months
- Diagnosed with posterior joint syndrome confirmed by imaging (CT or MRI scan)
- Currently followed by a chronic pain clinic at Toulouse University Hospital
- Scheduled to receive an injection into the back joint as part of your treatment
- No prior back surgery
- No back injection in the previous 6 months

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 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 if TENS (a gentle electrical stimulation therapy) can quickly reduce stiffness in the lower back muscles of people with long-lasting low back pain. If you are between 18 and 30 and have had non-specific low back pain for at least 3 months, this might be relevant to you.
This study tests whether the expectation of pain relief (the placebo effect) can make a device called TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) work better for acute lower back pain. TENS uses gentle electrical pulses on your skin to reduce pain.
This study tests whether a gentle electrical treatment placed on the skin near the spine can reduce chronic low back pain. If you qualify, you’ll try the stimulation and complete several assessments over a day, so the team can measure any pain and function changes.
