Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the effects and safety of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) in adults with myofascial low back pain.

DEVICE

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS)

TENS will be delivered via surface electrodes placed bilaterally around the area of maximal low back pain. Each session will last 20-30 minutes, administered 5 times per week for 4 weeks. Stimulation intensity will be titrated to a strong but comfortable sensation without pain, and parameters may be adjusted based on participant tolerance.
