New hope for back pain after surgery: injections and needling put to the test
NCT ID NCT07555496
First seen Apr 30, 2026 · Last updated Jun 21, 2026 · Updated 8 times
Summary
This study will test two treatments for people with chronic low back pain who have already had spinal surgery. One treatment is an injection of a steroid and numbing medicine into the back muscles, and the other is dry needling (inserting thin needles into the same muscles). Both are done with ultrasound guidance. The goal is to see if these treatments can reduce pain and improve function, helping patients get more out of physical therapy. The study plans to enroll 120 participants.

Active substance
corticosteroid injection (Diprostene) and lidocaine
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a new, minimally invasive option to ease chronic back pain after spinal surgery and help patients better engage in rehabilitation.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study that has not yet started recruiting. The treatment involves steroids, which carry risks like infection or tissue damage, and the results may not apply to all back pain patients.
