Nerve ablation for chronic low back pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a procedure that uses heat to disable small nerves in the spine that may be causing your lower back pain. It aims to reduce pain and improve function for people who haven't found relief with other treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 25 years or older
- You have had low back pain for at least 6 months
- You have tried other non-surgical treatments for at least 6 months without enough relief
- Your pain and disability scores are above a certain level
- An MRI shows specific changes in your spine (called Modic changes) that suggest your pain comes from the vertebrae
- You are able to understand and follow the study in Italian

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.
