Non-invasive brain stimulation for chronic low back pain: current techniques and future perspectives.
Article in Frontiers in human neuroscience, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Chronic low back pain has a high incidence rate and poses a threat to human physical and mental health. As the disease progresses over time, patients with chronic low back pain may exhibit corresponding clinical symptoms not only in localized back pain and functional limitations but also in movement patterns, psychological states, and cognitive aspects. As research continues to advance, maladaptive changes in the brains of patients with chronic low back pain have drawn the attention of scholars. Under sustained pathological stimulation, structural and functional alterations may occur in brain regions such as the sensorimotor cortex, prefrontal cortex, and cerebellum. Recently, non-invasive brain stimulation techniques have gained widespread clinical application and hold significant therapeutic value in the treatment of chronic low back pain. This paper outlines the targets and mechanisms of non-invasive brain stimulation techniques for treating chronic low back pain. It summarizes the current clinical applications of transcranial magnetic stimulation and transcranial direct current stimulation in patients with chronic low back pain, and explores the prospects of non-invasive brain stimulation for managing this condition. The aim is to introduce novel approaches to rehabilitation therapy for chronic low back pain and provide a solid foundation for future research directions.
