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.
This study is looking at how people with chronic low back pain respond to spinal cord stimulation (a device that sends gentle electrical pulses to the spine to reduce pain). If you already have a spinal cord stimulator, you may help researchers understand how well it works and how it affects your brain.
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 trial tests a stabilization training program using biofeedback (a device that shows you how your muscles are working) to treat chronic low back pain. It may help you strengthen the muscles supporting your spine and reduce your pain.
This study tests whether adding connective tissue massage to a core exercise program helps people with mechanical low back pain feel better and move easier. You would attend supervised sessions twice a week for 8 weeks and do daily exercises at home.
This study tests whether doing core (stability) exercises along with simple cognitive (thinking) tasks can reduce long-lasting low back pain. It may help if your pain has lasted at least 3 months and you can safely take part in exercise.
