Back Pain Lower Back Chronic: clinical trials and information

Chronic low back pain is back pain that lasts for 12 weeks or longer. In many cases no single specific cause is found. It is one of the most common reasons people see a health professional.

Assessment usually involves a history and physical examination, with attention to warning signs that may need urgent investigation. Imaging is not needed in every case; clinicians decide based on symptoms and findings.

Registered studies cover medicines, medical devices (such as nerve stimulators), procedures (such as nerve blocks or injections), physical and movement therapies, psychological approaches (such as cognitive behavioural therapy), education programs and digital tools. Being studied in a trial does not mean a treatment works or is approved. The interventions listed on this page come directly from the registry records.

This page lists 1 registry record for this term with at least one site in Canada, recruiting studies first. Each trial page links to the official ClinicalTrials.gov record, which lists the study contacts. Recruiting status changes often, so check the registry, and talk to your doctor before joining a study.
