Summary

Determine whether high intensity focused electromagnetic therapy has a significant effect on pain and quality of life in patients with lumbar disc prolapse.

Conditions

  • Back Pain Lower Back
  • Magnetic Therapy

Interventions

OTHER

High intensity focused electromagnetic therapy (HIFEMT)

The patient will be positioned in a comfortable supine or seated position depending on the targeted lumbar area. The applicator will be placed over the lumbar spine, delivering focused electromagnetic pulses to stimulate deep core and paraspinal muscles. Each session will last 30 minutes, conducted three times per week over a period of 8 weeks. The intensity will be progressively adjusted according to patient tolerance, aiming to induce visible supramaximal muscle contractions without discomfort. HIFEMT is intended to promote muscle strengthening, pain modulation, and spinal stabilization.

OTHER

Stabilization exercise program

Participants will be guided through core-strengthening exercises aimed at improving trunk stability, posture, and neuromuscular control. The exercises will include pelvic tilts, bridging, and bird-dog exercises. All sessions will be conducted under supervision of a physiotherapist. Each session will last for approximately 30 minutes, three times weekly for 8 weeks.
