Radiofrequency therapy for chronic back pain
Part of Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a treatment called TECAR therapy, which uses radiofrequency energy to help reduce chronic back pain. It may help people who have had back pain for a long time without a clear cause.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 trial tests if a type of radiofrequency treatment (TECAR therapy) can reduce pain and improve function and quality of life for people with low back pain caused by a herniated disc. It involves an exercise program along with the treatment.
This trial is testing a new approach to treating long-term low back pain that lasts more than three months. It may help you find relief if other treatments have not worked well.
This study tests whether TECAR therapy—a heat-based treatment that uses electrical energy—can reduce neck pain and improve movement in people with chronic neck stiffness. TECAR stands for capacitive and resistive energy transfer, a non-invasive technique that may help relieve pain and restore mobility.
This trial tests whether TECAR therapy, a form of electromagnetic energy that helps reduce pain and promote healing, can improve symptoms of cervical radiculopathy (nerve pain from the neck). Participation may help relieve pain and improve function without surgery.
This study tests a treatment called Tecar therapy (a type of deep heating therapy) for people with chronic neck pain. It aims to see if Tecar therapy helps reduce pain and improve function compared to standard physiotherapy.
