Summary

The goal of this trial is to compare the effects 448kHz capacitive resistive monopolar radiofrequency (CRM) with Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) versus only PNF in chronic low back pain patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Is there any difference in interventions on reduction of pain. 2. Is there any difference in interventions on reduction of disability. Participants will in the experimental group will be treated with a combination of: 1. 448kHz capacitive resistive monopolar radiofrequency and, 2. PNF intervention Participants will in the control group will be treated only using 1\. PNF intervention (identical to experimental group) Researchers will compare experimental and control group to see if there are differences in reduction of pain and disability.

Conditions

• Chronic Low-back Pain
• Lumbago
• Low Back Pain, Recurrent

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	448kHz capacitive resistive monopolar radiofrequency	Capacitive resistive monopolar radiofrequency (CRM) treatment is a type of medical procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to heat the targeted tissue.
OTHER	Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation	Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) is a type of physical therapy that uses techniques such as stretching and strengthening exercises to improve muscle function and movement patterns.
