Back pain is one of humanity most frequent complains. About nine of ten adults experience

patient of the most stoical individual as well as the doctor called to bring relief to the
suffering victim.
Kneading massage with topical analgesic is a common practice by physiotherapist especially in
Nigeria in the management of low back pain, work has been done to know the efficacy of lofnac
gel (topical analgesic) via phonophoresis in the management of low back pain(ojoawo,2015),
but the comparison of the efficacy of kneading massage and phonophoresis in the management of
low back pain has not been well documented. The purpose of this study therefore, is to
compare the efficacy of kneading massage and phonophoresis using lofnac gel in the treatment
of non-specific chronic low back pain.

Primary | The verbal rating scale | The verbal rating scale is a 10-point rating scale that measures present pain intensity of patients. The scale started from 0 and ends with 10. 0 indicate no pain, 1 indicate minimal pain while 5 indicates moderate pain and 10 indicates the most difficult pain called excruciating pain | 6 Weeks | |
Secondary | Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire | Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire . It is used to measure disability. It is a 24-item questionnaire that is relevant to low back pain disability. It is scored by totalling the sum of circled items by the patients (maximum is 24) which represent the final score. The score can therefore vary from 0 to 24. 0 indicate no disability and 24 indicates worst disability. The total number of marked statements are added by the clinician. Clinical improvement over time can be graded based on the analysis of serial questionnaire scores. If, for example, at the beginning of treatment, a patient's score was 12 and, at the conclusion of treatment, her score was 2 (10 points of improvement), we would calculate an 83% (10/12 x 100) improvement. | 6 weeks |
