Guideline-recommended multimodal interventions often face implementation barriers, and effective modalities (e.g., electrical stimulation) lack coverage. A multimodal mechanical stimulation (M-Stim) device for LBP has demonstrated safety and efficacy in pain reduction, but its impact on opioid use has not yet been determined.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>As part of an NIH-funded double-blind study to reduce pain and opioid use, patients with moderate-to-severe LBP presenting to two suburban chiropractic centers were randomized to receive either the M-Stim device or a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) unit for 30 min daily, in addition to other therapies. Analgesic use was reported daily for 28 days, with new prescribing followed weekly for 3 months. The primary outcome was prescribing in the opioid-naïve subjects.
