Cryoneurolysis vs Radiofrequency Ablation for Low Back Pain
Kansas City, Kansas
Low back pain (LBP) is the leading cause of disability worldwide. Currently available treatment options for treating low back facet joint pain include acupuncture, pain medications, psychotherapy, anti-inflammatory steroid injections into the joints, exercise, physical therapy, rest, chiropractic treatments, surgery, and radiofrequency ablation (RFA). RFA uses radio waves to target and burn the nerves that send the pain signals to the participant's brain. The purpose of this study is to compare the standard treatment of RFA to a newer therapy called iovera°. The iovera° system is a newer procedure for nerve pain that freezes the targeted nerves leading to a temporary block of the nerve without causing any permanent damage to the nerve. With the nerve blocked, pain is immediately relieved. The nerve reconnects over time and goes back to working exactly as it did before the procedure. The investigators want to see if iovera° therapy is effective in treating people with facet joint-mediated chronic low back pain (CLBP).
If the participant decide to participate in the study, the investigators will ask the participant to undergo either an RFA or iovera° procedure to treat the participant's CLBP. After the procedure, the investigators will ask the participant to complete surveys to track the participant's response to the procedure at 15 time points over a 1-year period. These time points consist of phone calls and online surveys.

TENS Device and Integrative Health Techniques for Back Pain
Minneapolis, Minnesota
Pain symptoms can have a variety of ways to be treated, from medications to physical therapy, with several options being available to patients. However, no one treatment may work for all people who experience pain, especially cLBP. The purpose of this study is to measure the compliance, usability, and satisfaction of an at-home, multi-modal stimulation device in a diverse population of people with chronic lower back pain (cLBP). The multi-modal device will include a combination of electrical stimulation, auditory stimulation, and integrative-health techniques, including mindfulness breathing, health coaching, and reflective journaling. The multi-modal device creation is based on prior knowledge in lower back pain treatment, which includes electrical stimulation of the back (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator or TENS) and integrative health modalities. In isolation, these treatments are only somewhat effective in reducing symptoms.
This pilot study will involve participants who experience cLBP as we investigate a novel at-home, multi-modal device design. The main objective of the pilot usability study is to examine compliance to the intended use of the multi-modal device and approach, as well as protocol feasibility, and satisfaction with the settings and design.

Self-Management Programs for Chronic Back and Neck Pain
Minneapolis, Minnesota
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn how well two community-based self-management programs work in people with chronic back or neck pain from populations that have been minoritized based on race, ethnicity, or income. The main question it aims to answer is:
How well does a community-based self-management program teaching mind-body skills such as mindfulness and cognitive behavioral approaches (Partners4Pain) work for reducing pain intensity and interference with general activities and enjoyment of life compared to a community-based self-management program focused on general health and wellbeing (Keys to Wellbeing)?
Participants will be asked to do the following:
* Attend 2 screening visits to learn about the study and see if they meet the requirements to participate.
* Be randomly assigned to one of the two community-based self-management programs.
* Attend 9 weekly self-management program sessions (90 minutes each)
* Complete surveys about their pain and overall health at 2 months (after the programs end), 4 months, and 6 months.
Funding for the project is provided through the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) and the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) through the NIH HEAL Initiative (https://heal.nih.gov/), R33AT012309.

Radiofrequency Ablation for Lumbar Spondylosis
Little Rock, Arkansas
Spondylosis is an anatomical defect of the small facet joints between the spinal vertebrae often due to load bearing and mechanical wear. It is a major contributor to lower back pain. The current standard of care in patients diagnosed with spondylosis in the lower back is to perform a radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of the lumbar medial branch nerves which carry the pain signals from that region to the brain. RFA accomplishes this by using radio waves transmitted through inserted electrodes. This leads to a temporary lesion or "burn"; stopping the pain signals from being transmitted as as well as changing the pain signals themselves. The electrodes themselves do not heat up but instead cause ions in the surrounding tissue to vibrate and heat up. When performing the procedure at the UAMS pain clinic, one can use the Stryker system with a single electrode end which protrudes out of the cannula or the Stratus Nimbus electrode with two prongs which expand in a "V"; formation along the sides of the cannula. While testing in chicken tissue shows that the latter electrode type produces a larger lesion size, anecdotal evidence suggests that it may lead to longer term pain relief. As such, the choice is currently left up to physician preference as both are FDA approved for use in this condition. This study is trying to assess if the larger lesion size results in a reduction in impairment of activities of daily living due to pain measured by the patient-reported PROMIS (Patient Reported Measurement Information System)-29 questionnaire. The PROMIS-29 is given to all patients who are seen in the UAMS Pain Clinic at initial and follow-up visits. In this study we would like to randomize what electrode and cannula set is used in RFA for patient's who are already going to be receiving the procedure for treatment for their spondylosis. The study team would then compare the PROMIS outcomes between cases that used the Stryker and Stratus Nimbus electrodes at 1,3,6,9 and 12 months. It is hypothesized that the Nimbus electrode will result in a greater reduction and improvement in PROMIS scores for a longer duration than the Stryker electrode.

Chiropractic Care for Lower Back Pain
Boston, Massachusetts
The goal of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of new implementation strategies designed to increase the number of Primary Care Providers (PCPs) referrals to chiropractic care for lower back pain (LBP) in underserved populations. The investigators plan to pilot the strategies in three qualified community health centers (CHCs) and compare the number of LBP patients who receive referrals before and after implementation. The implementation strategies involve PCP, patient, and organizational interventions.
Patients presenting with LBP will be provided educational materials that focus on the safety and effectiveness of chiropractic care as an evidence-based treatment for LBP. Materials will be available in CHC common areas and may be sent to patients by their PCP via patient portal.
PCPs will participate in interactive lunch seminars to allow for inter-professional learning for PCPs. They will also participate in a survey regarding their attitudes and beliefs relating to chiropractic care. Currently, many PCPs cannot make chiropractic care referrals in the electronic health record (EHR). The investigators plan to add this option, or make it easier if the referral is already available.
This multi-level, multi-component approach will last two months, and will be rolled out sequentially in three clinics using a stepped-wedge design. The ordering of clinics will be random.
The primary outcome is the proportion of patients with LBP who received a referral to chiropractic care before and after the intervention. Secondary outcomes include referral to any non-pharmacologic treatment, use of imaging, and prescribed medications.

"I was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer three months ago, metastatic to my liver, and I have been receiving and responding well to chemotherapy. My blood work revealed that my tumor markers have gone from 2600 in the beginning to 173 as of now, even with the delay in treatment, they are not going up. CT Scans reveal they have been shrinking as well. However, chemo is seriously deteriorating my body. I have 4 more treatments to go in this 12 treatment cycle. I am just interested in learning about my other options, if any are available to me."

Spinal Manipulative Therapy for Chronic Back Pain
Trois-Rivières, Quebec
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effects of spinal manipulative therapy in individuals with chronic primary low back pain and determine the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying pain relief. The main questions it aims to answer are: • Is pain relief produced by spinal manipulative therapy in patients with chronic primary low back pain caused by a reduction of C-fiber-related nociceptive processing? • Are these effects greater when spinal manipulative therapy is applied to the whole spine where it is clinically indicated compared with lumbar spine only? • Are these effects greater after 36 treatments over 3 months compared with 12 treatments over 1 month. Participants will receive spinal manipulative therapy (all clinically indicated spine segments or back only) or a control intervention. A group of healthy volunteers will be recruited to assess secondary outcome measures over the same time period, as reference data for comparisons. Researchers will compare the two groups receiving spinal manipulative therapy to the group receiving the control intervention to see if clinical pain relief and the reduction of temporal summation of second pain (produced experimentally) is significantly greater with spinal manipulative therapy.

Dry Needling for Chronic Low Back Pain
Gainesville, Florida
Low back pain is a common problem that many adults experience at some point in their lives. One treatment being studied is dry needling, a technique where a small needle is inserted into a specific area of muscle to help relieve pain. So far, the research on dry needling for low back pain hasn't been clear, and it's hard to know when and for whom it will work best. This study aims to figure out how dry needling works to help people with chronic low back pain by looking at the underlying factors. By understanding how dry needling helps people, we can develop a more targeted approach to treatment, which could lead to better outcomes for people with chronic low back pain. The goal of this study is to identify the factors that make dry needling effective for people with chronic low back pain, so that this this information can be used to provide more personalized and effective care.
Eligible participants will attend 5 research sessions lasting approximately 1 hour and complete 2 online surveys. At 3 of those sessions, participants will receive dry needling to their low back.
As part of the research, participants will complete questionnaires related to how pain effects their life. Participants will also undergo testing for muscle stiffness, low back mobility and strength, and pain sensitivity.
To be included in this study participants must:
* Be 18-65 years of age
* Have low back pain for at least 3 months

Self-Management Strategies for Lower Back Pain
Gainesville, Florida
The primary purpose of this hybrid Type II comparative effectiveness and implementation study is to compare two self-management strategies in nursery and landscape workers. This randomized pragmatic study will compare interventions with different degrees of support to determine if self-management videos plus multimodal personalized support is more effective than self-management videos alone for improving LBP among horticulture workers. Both groups will review short self-management video modules to introduce general pain concepts and the importance of managing pain without medication, risks of opioid use, self-management of pain, and simple ergonomic strategies for both groups. Both groups will choose 1 self-management strategy to manage pain at home and 1 ergonomic workplace strategy to limit pain. The video+support group will receive 1) check-list guidance, 2) review videos of their work tasks, and 3) receive text reminders to support implementation. Surveys will include instruments reflecting low back pain disability, pain, work ability, and affective or cognitive characteristics (self-efficacy, pain anxiety, depression, coping), collected at baseline, pre- and post-intervention, with follow-ups at 3- and 6-months. Workers will be videoed pre- and post-intervention for calculation of work risk and to compare any changes after the intervention. Specific aim 2 will identify contextual factors impacting engagement, adoption, effectiveness, and implementation. Interviews, focus groups, and field notes will be used to explain results and establish patterns to inform future translation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do Back Pain clinical trials pay?
Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.
How do Back Pain clinical trials work?
After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Back Pain trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Back Pain is 12 months.
How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?
Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.
What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?
The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.
Do I need to be insured to participate in a Back Pain medical study?
Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.
What are the newest Back Pain clinical trials?
Most recently, we added Ketamine for Chronic Lower Back Pain and Depression, Pregnenolone + DHEA for Lower Back Pain and Chiropractic Care for Back Pain to the Power online platform.
