Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Design: Single-blind experimental prospective study of clinic intervention. Setting: Physiotherapy and Speech Therapy Unit at the Cambrils Slight Hospital. Spain.
Population: 96 women (50-85 years) with chronic low back pathology. Methods: Subjects were divided into three randomized groups: Back School (group 1), TENS with Back School (group 2), and Magnetic therapy with Back School (group 3). They have re-ceived 20 sessions of treatment. The intensity of pain (EVA Scale) and the quality of life (Oswestry Scale) were measured, at the beginning and at the end of the treatment and after three and six months. Anthropometric and physical activity variables were collected.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Electromagnetic therapy (EM)
The group had performed 20 sessions of EM therapy for 20 minutes and after had a 25 minutes from Back School intervention.
Electromagnetic Therapy
20 sessions from Monday to Friday of 20 minutes of Electromagnetic Therapy, using the next parameters: 10 Hz of frequency and 60% of intensity, and 20 sessions from Monday to Friday of 25 minutes of Back School, the exercises were based on the re-education of breathing, self stretching trunk muscles, erector spine reinforcement, abdominal reinforcement and postural exercises. The participants had been performing 8 to 10 repetitions of each exercise and they had been recommended about making a series more at home.
Back School
25 minutes of Back School, the exercises were based on the re-education of breathing, self stretching trunk muscles, erector spine reinforcement, abdominal reinforcement and postural exercises. The participants had been performing 8 to 10 repetitions of each exercise and they had been recommended about making a series more at home.
Transcutaneous Electrical Neurological Stimulation (TENS)
The group had performed 20 sessions of TENS therapy for 20 minutes and after had a 25 minutes from Back School intervention.
Transcutaneous Electrical Neurological Stimulation
Procedure/Surgery: Transcutaneous Electrical Neurological Stimulation (TENS)
20 sessions from Monday to Friday of 20 minutes of TENS Therapy using the next parameters: 100μs of impulse width, 80 Hz of impulse frequency, and 20 sessions from Monday to Friday of 25 minutes of Back School, the exercises were based on the re-education of breathing, self stretching trunk muscles, erector spine reinforcement, abdominal reinforcement and postural exercises. The participants had been performing 8 to 10 repetitions of each exercise and they had been recommended about making a series more at home.
Back School
25 minutes of Back School, the exercises were based on the re-education of breathing, self stretching trunk muscles, erector spine reinforcement, abdominal reinforcement and postural exercises. The participants had been performing 8 to 10 repetitions of each exercise and they had been recommended about making a series more at home.
Back School (BS)
The group had performed 20 sessions of Back School therapy for 25 minutes.
Back School
25 minutes of Back School, the exercises were based on the re-education of breathing, self stretching trunk muscles, erector spine reinforcement, abdominal reinforcement and postural exercises. The participants had been performing 8 to 10 repetitions of each exercise and they had been recommended about making a series more at home.
