Nerve ablation for chronic low back pain from spine changes
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a procedure that uses heat to treat specific nerves in the spine that may be causing chronic low back pain. It's for people who haven't gotten better with other treatments and have a certain type of bone marrow change seen on MRI.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 25 years or older and your skeleton is fully grown.
- You've had low back pain for at least 6 months.
- You've tried other treatments like physical therapy or medication for at least 6 months without enough relief.
- An MRI shows specific changes in the bones of your lower spine (called Modic changes) that match your pain.
- You can read, write, and speak Italian, and are willing to follow the study plan.

This study tests if radiofrequency ablation, a procedure that uses heat to block pain signals from the facet joints in your spine, can help people with long-term low back pain that hasn't improved with other treatments like physical therapy.
This study compares two needle-based techniques to treat long-lasting low back pain by stopping overactive pain signals from specific back joints. If you’ve already tried physical therapy and pain medicines without enough relief, this trial may test which technique works better for pain reduction.
This study looks at how well a procedure called BVN ablation (which uses heat to stop pain signals from the vertebrae) works for people with chronic low back pain that comes from the spine. If you already have this procedure scheduled, researchers will track your recovery and pain relief over time.
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.
This study tests a treatment that uses radiofrequency energy to target specific nerves in the spine that may be causing your low back pain. If you qualify, you would receive the OptaBlate BVN procedure and be followed over time to see how well it works.
This study tests a procedure that uses heat to stop a nerve in the lower back from sending pain signals. It may help people with long-term central low back pain who have not gotten better with other treatments and have Modic changes on MRI.
