Clinical trials

The goal of this interventional clinical trail is to determine the efficacy of the use of the Neubie pulsed direct current electrical stimulation device for the treatment of participants experiencing mechanical low back pain. The main question it aims to answer is: Does treatment with the Neubie improve symptoms and time to resolution of back pain compared to standard of care? Researchers will compare a 12 session treatment physical therapy regimen using the Neubie to standard of care to see if there is a difference in symptom severity and time to resolution. Participants will: * Visit the clinic 2 times a week to undergo active physical therapy treatments with or without electrical stimulation from the Neubie. * Undergo testing and fill out surveys on evaluation and final session on quality of life, disability, pain, and spinal mobility.

This study will compare two methods of electrical stimulation (alternating current and direct current) as an adjunctive therapy to treating lumbosacral radiculopathy. Both types of electrical stimulation have been used in clinical practice for physical therapy, however direct current stimulation is much less common and there is less known about its impact on physical therapy outcomes. The aim of this project is to show the efficacy of a novel device, the Neubie direct current device, compared to traditional TENS unit in clinical physical therapy treatment of radiculopathy. Outcomes measured will include: pain intensity, functional status, neurological status, electrophysiological changes and patient satisfaction.
