Nerve stimulation for chronic back pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a nerve stimulation device for long-term back pain that hasn't improved with standard painkillers. It might help reduce pain and improve daily function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 30 and 65 years old.
- You have had back pain for more than 6 months that has not responded well to painkillers.
- Your average pain score in the last 4 weeks is between 4 and 9 on a 0-10 scale.
- You haven't had back surgery in the last 6 months and don't need it now.
- You are able to use a smartphone app for the study.
- You don't have other serious medical conditions like heart problems, poorly controlled diabetes, or certain skin issues at the ear or neck.

This trial tests a non-surgical treatment that stimulates a nerve in your ear while you do rehabilitation exercises to reduce chronic back pain. It may help if you've had pain for more than 6 months and pain medications aren't working well enough.
This trial tests if stimulating the vagus nerve through the ear can reduce chronic low back pain in people who haven't gotten enough relief from painkillers. It aims to see if this non-invasive treatment can help manage pain without medication.
This trial tests a device that uses electrical stimulation, LED, and laser light to treat chronic low back pain. It may help if you've had back pain for over 3 months and can lie down for 30 minutes during treatment.
This study tests a way to place and program a spinal cord stimulator to reduce long-term (chronic) back pain. It’s for people whose back pain has lasted at least 6 months and is severe enough to measure.
