Transcutaneous Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation for Chronic Pain
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Stimulation at Location 1 and Stimulation at Location 2 for Low Back Pain. Completed, enrolled 70 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This proposal aims to investigate the treatment effect and underlying mechanism of transcutaneous acupuncture stimulation on chronic low back pain. We believe that this study, if successful, will provide new treatment options for chronic low back pain, reduce the use of opioid analgesics in chronic pain management, and enhance our understanding of the underlying mechanism of nerve stimulation treatment, as well as the pathophysiology and development of chronic pain.

Timeline
Interventions
Stimulation parameters will include 1) density wave adjusted to 20Hz with less than 1 ms pulse width, 2) intensity adjusted based on the tolerance of the patient (moderate tolerable stimulation without pain), and 3) treatment will be applied 1 time per day, 5 times per week for four weeks (on-site tVNS treatment plus self-administration at home).
