Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

This trial tests whether adding a special electrical stimulation treatment to a standard core exercise program can reduce pain and improve function in adults with chronic low back pain. Forty-five people will be split into three groups: one gets core exercises plus a lumbar strengthening stimulation program, another gets core exercises plus a muscle relaxation stimulation program, and the third does core exercises alone. Treatment lasts six weeks, with sessions twice a week. The main goal is to see if pain intensity changes, and the study also looks at disability, daily function, quality of life, and sleep.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Multichannel neuromuscular electrical stimulation (StimaWELL 120MTRS) added to a core exercise program
What this could lead to
If it works, adding electrical stimulation to core exercises could offer a drug-free way to reduce chronic low back pain and improve sleep and quality of life.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial, and the added benefit of stimulation over exercise alone is uncertain. Results may not apply to everyone with back pain.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 45 people

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

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: * Aged 18 to 55 years. * Chronic non-specific low back pain lasting at least three months. * Low back pain not attributable to a specific trauma, infection, tumor, fracture, rheumatologic disease, or serious neurological disorder. * Pain intensity meeting the protocol threshold stated as VAS \>=3. \[TEYIT - because the outcome VAS is a 100-mm scale, clarify whether the intended eligibility threshold is \>=30 mm (equivalent to 3/10) rather than \>=3 mm.\] * Physical and cognitive ability to perform the core exercise program. * Willingness to attend two treatment sessions per week for six weeks (12 sessions total). * Voluntary participation and provision of written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Age younger than 18 years or older than 55 years. * Low back pain due to disc herniation, spinal stenosis, fracture, tumor, infection, or inflammatory disease. * Nerve root involvement, marked sensory loss, or muscle weakness. * Previous lumbar spine surgery. * Pacemaker or other electronic implant; pregnancy; epilepsy; or active cancer. * Open wound or skin disease in the treatment area. * Physical therapy for low back pain within the previous month or continuation of another low back pain treatment during the study period.
