简要总结

This study looks at the non-invasive brain stimulation technique in people with chronic low back pain to see:

  • How effective non-invasive brain stimulation is at improving pain intensity in people with chronic low back pain?
  • How safe non-invasive brain stimulation is and what side effects there may be?
  • What study participants think of the study procedures and of the non-invasive brain stimulation as a treatment technique for chronic low back pain.

Participants will be assigned to receive either active brain stimulation group or sham stimulation group randomly.

Participants will be required to attend a total of twelve treatment sessions (approximately 1-hour each, three sessions per week, for four consecutive weeks).

Assessments will be done at baseline (in the week 0), immediately post-completion of the intervention (in the week 5), and at the follow-up of one-month (in the week 8), three-months (in the week 16) and six-months (in the week 28) post-completion of intervention.

结局指标

主要结局

Pain intensity

时间窗: The primary endpoint for efficacy assessment of HD-tIGNS will be change in the average pain intensity over the past week from baseline to one-week post completion of treatment.

Average pain intensity over the past week measured on a numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) of 0 to 10 (0=No pain to 10=Pain as bad as you can imagine) from the Brief Pain Inventory short form

次要结局

  • Pain intensity(Change in the average pain intensity over the past week from baseline to one-month, three-months and six-months post completion of treatment.)
  • Pain interference(Change in the pain interference from baseline to one-week, one-month, three-months and six-months post completion of treatment.)
  • Pain unpleasantness(Change in the pain unpleasantness from baseline to one-week, one-month, three-months and six-months post completion of treatment.)
  • Pain Bothersomeness(Change in the pain bothersomeness from baseline to one-week, one-month, three-months and six-months post completion of treatment.)
  • Patient global impression of change(Recorded at one-week, one-month, three-months, and six-months post completion of treatment.)
  • Movement Evoked Pain: Repeated spinal bending(Recorded at baseline, and at one-week, one-month, three-months, and six-months post completion of treatment.)
  • Movement Evoked Pain: Back Performance scale(Recorded at baseline, and at one-week, one-month, three-months, and six-months post completion of treatment.)
  • Mechanical temporal summation(Recorded at baseline, and at one-week, one-month, three-months, and six-months post completion of treatment.)
  • Pressure Pain Threshold(Recorded at baseline, and at one-week, one-month, three-months, and six-months post completion of treatment.)
  • Function(Recorded at baseline, and at one-week, one-month, three-months, and six-months post completion of treatment.)
  • Health Related Quality of Life(Recorded at baseline, and at one-week, one-month, three-months, and six-months post completion of treatment.)
  • Well-Being(Recorded at baseline, and at one-week, one-month, three-months, and six-months post completion of treatment.)

  • Positive and Negative Affect(Recorded at baseline, and at one-week, one-month, three-months, and six-months post completion of treatment.)
  • Self-efficacy(Recorded at baseline, and at one-week, one-month, three-months, and six-months post completion of treatment.)
  • Intolerance to Uncertainity scale short form(Recorded at baseline, and at one-week, one-month, three-months, and six-months post completion of treatment.)
  • Tampa scale of Kinesiophobia(Recorded at baseline, and at one-week, one-month, three-months, and six-months post completion of treatment.)
