Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for Low Back Pain

Not Applicable

Withdrawn

• Conditions: Chronic Low Back Pain
• Interventions: Device: Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

• Registration Number: NCT02070016
• Lead Sponsor: Stanford University

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to test whether non-invasive brain stimulation, such as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) may alleviate pain associated with various chronic pain conditions. We will test various methods of TMS to identify a treatment approach that may reduce the symptoms of chronic pain for the patient.
