First seen Jan 31, 2026 · Last updated May 24, 2026 · Updated 15 times
Summary
This study tests a treatment called PENS (Percutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) combined with exercise for people with long-term sciatica. 88 adults will be randomly assigned to PENS, TENS (skin-patch stimulation), dry needling, or a placebo, all alongside a 6-week exercise program. The goal is to see if PENS reduces pain and improves daily function better than the other options. Results will be checked at 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months.
