Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The low level laser therapy has a better effect in decrease the pain than ultrasound therapeutic.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The laser will be applied with the dosimetry 3 J/cm², 2 minutes in 6 points around the back spine, during 4 weeks. Before the women will be evaluate again.
