EMS and body awareness exercises for chronic low back pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether combining electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) with gentle body awareness exercises can reduce chronic low back pain more than exercises alone. It may be an option if you have had low back pain for at least 3 months with no specific cause found.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
