Summary

This study looks at whether adding a gentle vibration to dry needling can reduce low back pain better than dry needling alone. About 36 adults with long-term low back pain will receive either standard dry needling or dry needling with vibration. The goal is to see if the vibration method is less painful during treatment and causes less soreness afterward, while still improving pain and function.

Participants

About 36 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Expected to start

Sep 2026

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Jul 2027

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Individuals with NSLBP: pain persisting for more than six weeks, located between the twelfth rib and the buttocks, and scoring at least 3 points on the Numeric Pain Rating Scale; 2.

Aged between 35-65 years: this population exhibits the highest prevalence of low back pain and consequently represents the greatest socio-economic impact on society; 4. Having signed the informed consent form. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Diagnosis of specific pathologies associated with low back pain (e.g., herniated discs, neurological disorders); 2. Any form of infiltration within the past 3 months; 3. Having received any physiotherapy interventions in the lumbopelvic region within the past 4 weeks; 4.
