Spinal magnetic therapy for nerve pain from a herniated disc
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a treatment that uses magnetic pulses through the spine to reduce nerve pain caused by a herniated disc pressing on a nerve in your lower back. The goal is to see if this painless, non-invasive therapy can help improve your symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 40 years old, male or female
- You have had nerve pain shooting down one leg for more than 3 months that comes from a herniated disc in your lower back (confirmed by MRI and a neurosurgeon)
- You do not have high blood pressure or diabetes
- You have not had back surgery before
- You do not have narrowing of the spinal canal, abnormal spine curvature (scoliosis or kyphosis), or a spinal fracture

This study tests whether combining three physical therapy techniques—spine mobilization, leg movements, and spinal traction—can reduce pain and improve function in people with pinched nerves in the lower back caused by a bulging disc. If it works, it could offer a non-surgical treatment option.
This trial tests a new type of treatment (high-voltage pulsed radiofrequency) that uses a special needle to deliver energy to the nerve root in your lower back. The goal is to see if it can reduce chronic leg pain caused by a pinched or irritated nerve.
This trial compares two types of physical therapy for low back pain and leg pain caused by nerve irritation (called lumbar radiculopathy). One group gets standard spinal movement treatment, and the other gets that treatment plus a technique called 'neural flossing' that helps the nerves slide smoothly. The goal is to see if adding neural flossing gives better pain relief and improvement.
This study tests whether a type of high-intensity laser therapy (HILT) can help relieve leg pain caused by a herniated disc in the lower back. It is for people who have not had recent back treatments or surgery.
This study tests a procedure that uses heat from a special needle to calm overactive nerves in your lower back. It compares two ways of delivering this treatment to see which works better for long-term pain relief.
This study compares two treatments for long-lasting low back and leg pain caused by a herniated disc: high-intensity laser therapy and a steroid shot near the spine. Researchers want to see which option works better to reduce pain.
