Brief Summary

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

Purposes of the study

To investigate the effect of pulsed magnetic therapy versus phonophoresis in discogenic lumbar radiculopathy patients

Detailed Description

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

Patients will be randomized into either pulsed magnetic therapy group or phonophoresis group. Patients will receive the intervention for six weeks. Outcomes will be assessed at baseline and post-intervention.
