Brain scans may predict back pain worsening
NCT ID NCT06025201
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study uses EEG (a non-invasive brain wave test) to find patterns in the brain that might predict how chronic low back pain changes over time. Researchers will track 130 adults with chronic low back pain and healthy volunteers for up to 5 months. The goal is to develop better ways to predict pain progression, not to test a treatment.
