Summary

This study tests whether a small device that gently stimulates a nerve in the ear can help people with long-term back pain when used along with standard rehab. About 48 adults with chronic back pain will either get the ear stimulation plus rehab or rehab alone for 3 weeks. The goal is to see if the combination improves daily function and reduces pain-related disability.
