Shock without surgery: new device aims to ease back pain
NCT ID NCT05265000
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether a non-invasive device that sends electrical stimulation through the skin to the spinal cord can help relieve chronic low back pain. Researchers will enroll 50 adults with low back pain to see if the treatment reduces pain and improves how well they can move, like standing up from a chair. The goal is to find a safer, easier alternative to surgically implanted spinal stimulators.
