Summary

This study investigates the effectiveness of a specific electrotherapy treatment for individuals with chronic non-specific low back pain. The participants, who had low back pain for more than three months, were divided into two groups: a treatment group and a waitlist control group. The treatment group received electrotherapy using the StimaWELL 120MTRS system, which provided electrical stimulation and heat therapy to the entire spine over four weeks. The study assessed various outcomes, including pain levels, disability, and quality of life, before and after the intervention.
