The term non-specific low back pain refers to the painful symptoms located in the lumbar region, which is delimited between the lower margin of the ribs and the lower limit of the buttocks

Detailed description

This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of a vacuum myofascial therapy device (VT) for improving pressure pain thresholds (PPTs), functionality, range of motion (ROM), low back pain-related disability, pain, and quality of life in patients with non-specific low back pain. Methods: A randomized controlled trial in which participants with non-specific low back pain (NP) were randomly assigned to either an experimental (VT) or a comparison physical therapy program (PTP) group.

Conditions

• Chronic Nonspecific Low Back Pain

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Vacuum myofascial therapy and physical activity program.	This group will treated five times with the analgesic program of physium therapy. Each maneuver was performed once per session by slow and progressive. The whole procedure lasted no more than 30 minutes. Then they carried out the physical activity program
OTHER	Physical activity program.	Active Comparator: Physical activity The exercise protocol would last 5 weeks, performing 3 exercise sessions per week, with an effective work time of 20 minutes per session. The exercises would be directly focused on activating the core stabilizing muscles.
