Efficacy of low-level laser therapy and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation therapy on range of motion in chronic low-back pain
Low back pain is an extremely frequent medical condition with up to 80% lifetime prevalence in adults. Among variety of therapeutic options for low back pain, low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) are among commonly used modalities. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of this two physical modalities on lumbar spine range of motion in patients with chronic low back pain, with emphasis on their comparative effectiveness. There was no statistically difference between two groups at the beginning of the study. At the end of the treatment both LLLT and TENS exerted statistically significant improvement in all measures of lumbar spine mobility (p0.05). In our sample of middle-aged patients with chronic low back pain LLLT and TENS improved range of motion of lumbar spine, with significantly different effect on Schober’s measure. The main drawback is lack of a placebo control group.
