Zapping the brain to ease back pain?
NCT ID NCT02954432
Summary
This study is testing whether two types of non-invasive brain stimulation can reduce pain and improve function for people with long-term, medication-resistant low back pain. Researchers are comparing active stimulation to a fake (sham) treatment in 40 participants to see if it makes a difference. The goal is to see if this approach can offer relief when standard pain medications haven't worked well.
