Summary

This study tests a handheld device called Sonodyn for people with chronic back, neck, or tension headache pain that hasn't improved with other treatments. The device uses a mix of low-energy ultrasound, electrical, and magnetic pulses to target painful trigger points. About 126 adults will either receive active therapy or a sham (inactive) device for 3 weeks, and researchers will track pain levels for 12 weeks total.
