Hot pack therapy for low back pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether applying a hot pack to the lower back can quickly reduce pain and help you feel better. It is for people with non-specific low back pain (pain not caused by a specific injury or disease) and looks at how you feel right after treatment and a day or two later.
