Electrical Stimulation for the Treatment of Back Pain Using Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS)
NCT03179202 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of electrical stimulation (low levels of electricity) on low back pain. This study involves the SPRINT Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS) system. The System delivers mild electrical stimulation to the nerves in the low back. The System includes up to four small wires (called "Leads") that are placed through the skin into the muscles in the low back. The wires attach to device(s) worn on the body that deliver stimulation (called Stimulators).

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT03179202
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT03179202 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 166 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is SPR Therapeutics, which has 3 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 2 conditions, with Low Back Pain appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which SPRINT Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS) System is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT03179202 reports 8 study locations spanning 7 distinct geographic areas — top geographies include North Carolina, Arizona, California. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
