Optimizing brain stimulation for office workers with chronic low back pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests different settings for a non-invasive brain stimulation therapy (TMS) to see which works best for easing chronic low back pain in office workers. It may help reduce pain and improve how your back feels during work.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You work in an office and sit for at least 6 hours a day.
- You are between 20 and 60 years old.
- You have had non-specific low back pain for at least 3 months.
- Your current pain is at least 2 on a 0-10 scale.
- You do not have certain health conditions (like seizures, pacemakers, or major back surgery) that could make the treatment unsafe.

This study tests whether a wearable belt that provides gentle vibration can help reduce chronic low back pain in office workers. It's a non-drug option that might ease your pain and improve your comfort during long work hours.
This trial tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation technique called tACS can help reduce chronic low back pain. Participants will have brain scans and receive the treatment over several sessions.
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 whether a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment can improve physiotherapy results for people with long-lasting low back pain. You may be asked to do questionnaires and follow a treatment plan, and some people may be able to reduce pain or improve function.
This study tests a new combination of electrical stimulation, LED light, and laser therapy for chronic lower back pain. If you qualify, you may get pain relief without surgery or strong medications.
