Zap your back pain? trial tests tiny nerve stimulators

NCT ID NCT03312010

Summary

This study tested whether a small, implanted nerve stimulation device could reduce chronic back pain. Thirty-eight adults with long-term back pain had two stimulators placed near their spine. Half received real stimulation, and half received a sham (fake) treatment for comparison, with neither patients nor doctors knowing which was which initially.
