Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) combined with aerobic exercise in non-specific low back pain patients. The main question aims to answer: • Which are the effects of tDCS treatment combined with aerobic exercise compared to Sham tDCS combined with aerobic exercise in non-specific Low Back Pain? Participants will be asked to complete questionnaires and they will receive treatments as tDCS or Sham tDCS and aerobic exercise (treadmill walking). Researchers will compare a group who is treated with a combination of tDCS and aerobic exercise versus a group receiving placebo tDCS and aerobic exercise to see the effects on pain intensity, pressure pain, disability, kinesiophobia, quality of life, catastrophism, Heart Rate Variability and cortical excitation.
