Detailed Description

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

One of the main problems faced by physiotherapists in primary care is low back pain with or without radiation to lower limbs. Nowadays, there are a lot of types of low back pain interventions, yet despite the vast amount of research findings, the evidence remains contradictory and inconclusive: Pharmacological treatments like NSAIDs have shown result in acute low back pain but not in chronic pain; conservative interventions (ultrasound, interferential currents, mechanical traction and massage) have been studied and found ineffective.

A total of 151 low back pain patients with or without radiation to lower limbs between 18-70 years old derived from the Physiotherapy Unit of Gévora Health Center (Badajoz, Spain) voluntarily entered the study
