This study tests whether a single session of TENS (a pain-relieving electrical treatment applied to the skin) can reduce stiffness in the lower back muscles of young adults with chronic low back pain. If you have ongoing back pain, this treatment might help relax tight muscles.
This study tests if a non-invasive device called TENS (which uses gentle electrical pulses) can help relieve low back pain that comes from muscle knots or tight bands. The device is applied to the skin over the painful area.
This study tests a needle-based treatment called percutaneous electrolysis on the muscles in your lower back to reduce pain. Researchers will analyze how your body responds to understand why it might help with back pain.
This trial tests whether applying a hot pack to your lower back can quickly reduce pain. You'll receive the treatment and be checked right after and again within 1-2 days to see how well it works.
This trial tests whether adding electrical muscle stimulation to body awareness exercises helps reduce non-specific low back pain. If you have had low back pain for at least 3 months and are between 18 and 65, you may be able to join.
This study tests a combination of high-intensity laser therapy (a painless light treatment) and a gentle hands-on technique called 'Mulligan mobilization' to see if it helps reduce chronic low back pain. The goal is to find a non-surgical way to improve your pain and movement.
