NCT ID NCT04327817
Summary
This study aimed to understand how an implanted device that stimulates back muscles works to relieve chronic low back pain. Researchers used special brain and muscle scans (PET/CT) on 20 patients who had the device implanted. The goal was to see what physical changes in the brain and muscles are linked to reductions in pain and improvements in daily life.
