First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a device that sends mild electrical pulses to nerves near the spine to treat long-term back pain. 38 adults with chronic back pain (with or without leg pain) were randomly assigned to receive either the active stimulation or a sham (inactive) treatment. The goal was to see if the device could safely reduce pain and improve daily function.
