New device uses light and zaps to fight back pain
NCT ID NCT07313826
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study will test whether the Neurolumen device—which combines low-level lasers, LEDs, and electrical stimulation—can reduce pain and painkiller use in 50 adults with chronic low back pain. Participants will use the device daily for 4 weeks, and some will receive a sham (inactive) version for comparison. The goal is to see if this FDA-cleared device offers a non-drug way to manage persistent back pain.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Neurolumen device (low-level lasers, LEDs, and electrical stimulation)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a drug-free option to manage chronic low back pain and reduce reliance on painkillers.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study (50 people) with no blinding results yet. The sham device may also provide some relief, making it hard to prove real benefit. Long-term effects are unknown.
