Pivotal Trials (Near Approval)
Breakthrough Medication
This trial is testing if wearing a lumbar brace for a few weeks can help people with low back pain who visit the emergency department. The brace supports the lower back, reducing movement and pain. This may decrease the need for painkillers and improve daily function. Lumbar supports are used in the treatment of low-back pain patients to prevent the onset or recurrence of low-back pain.

AllCore for Low Back Pain

Nellis AFB, Nevada
Low back pain is one of the most common chief complaints amongst adult patients in the ambulatory clinic and emergency settings and poor core strength is a known underlying cause/perpetuator. Additionally, it is one of the most common reasons active-duty military personnel seek medical care (absolute 2015; absolute 2016; absolute 2017). Moreover, musculoskeletal conditions represent a common reason service members are placed on limited duty and considered medically not fit to deploy. The AllCore360° has the potential to prevent pain and injury, decrease pain as well as reduce duty, fitness and mobility restrictions in active-duty members with low back pain.

STEPPT for Back Pain

San Diego, California
This 6-month pilot study aims to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and estimate effect sizes of the pilot STEPPT intervention for addressing ethnic disparities in physical therapy referrals and adherence between Hispanic and Non-Hispanic White patients with spine pain. Feasibility and acceptability will be assessed based on the extent to which the pilot clinic implements all components of the intervention appropriately, feedback from clinic staff during implementation of the intervention, and feedback from patients during post-intervention interviews. The investigators anticipate that the intervention will be both feasible and acceptable. Feedback from patients and clinic staff will be used to inform intervention modifications for a larger clinical trial. Effect sizes for the pilot STEPPT intervention (intervention) in comparison to standard care (control) will be assessed by evaluating changes in ethnic disparities (Hispanic vs. Non-Hispanic White) in physician referral to physical therapy and patient adherence to physical therapy referral for the treatment of spine pain before and after implementation of the pilot STEPPT intervention. In comparison to standard care, the investigators expect STEPPT to reduce ethnic disparities in referral and adherence outcomes.

Why Other Patients Applied

"I have dealt with voice and vocal fold issues related to paralysis for over 12 years. This problem has negatively impacted virtually every facet of my life. I am an otherwise healthy 48 year old married father of 3 living. My youngest daughter is 12 and has never heard my real voice. I am now having breathing issues related to the paralysis as well as trouble swallowing some liquids. In my research I have seen some recent trials focused on helping people like me."

"I've been struggling with ADHD and anxiety since I was 9 years old. I'm currently 30. I really don't like how numb the medications make me feel. And especially now, that I've lost my grandma and my aunt 8 days apart, my anxiety has been even worse. So I'm trying to find something new."

"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."

"As a healthy volunteer, I like to participate in as many trials as I'm able to. It's a good way to help research and earn money."

"I changed my diet in 2020 and I’ve lost 95 pounds from my highest weight (283). I am 5’3”, female, and now 188. I still have a 33 BMI. I've been doing research on alternative approaches to continue my progress, which brought me here to consider clinical trials."

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Lower 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 Lower 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 Lower 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 Lower 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 Lower 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 Lower Back Pain clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Ketamine for Chronic Lower Back Pain and Depression, Dextrose Prolotherapy for Lower Back Pain in Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and Pregnenolone + DHEA for Lower Back Pain to the Power online platform.
