Brief Summary

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

A significant global source of disability is low back pain. Maladaptive variations in the level of activity in the lumbar musculature are one thing that could possibly contribute to persistent pain.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Group A

Twenty patients will receive low-level laser therapy 3 times per week for a month

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Low-level laser therapy

Intervention Type OTHER

Is a form of medicine that applies low-level (low-power) lasers that relieve pain.The effects appear to be limited to a specified set of wavelengths

Group B

Twenty patients will receive shock wave therapy 3 times per week for a month

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Shock wave Therapy

Intervention Type OTHER

is a non-invasive treatment that stimulates the body's natural healing process. It can relieve pain and promote healing of injured tendons, ligaments, and other soft tissues
