Clinical Trial Summary

A total of 60 people diagnosed with non-specific chronic low back pain of more than 3 months of evolution and who are not currently undergoing any type of treatment will be recruited, with ages between 30 and 65 years. A random distribution will be made into two treatment groups (diathermy combined with supervised therapeutic exercise versus supervised therapeutic exercise). Participants will receive treatment once a week for a period of four weeks, in the physiotherapy laboratories of the University of Almería, with a follow-up evaluation at three weeks and two months after the start of treatment. At their first visit, participants will be screened for study eligibility according to the study inclusion and exclusion criteria, and will be evaluated by a therapist blinded to the intervention. After this face-to-face evaluation, patients will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups and will receive treatment for low back pain according to their random assignment group by two therapists belonging to the research group and trained in the techniques used.


Clinical Trial Description

After randomization, participants will be assigned to the experimental group (8 sessions of monopolar dielectric diathermy by emission of radiofrequency combined with 8 sessions of supervised therapeutic exercise) or to the control group (8 sessions of supervised exercise). The number of participants will be identical between the groups. The randomization sequence will be performed by the principal investigator. The number of participants for each group will be 30. The results of the random assignment will be sealed in opaque envelopes before being delivered to the participants. The outcome assessor and study statistician will be blinded throughout the entire process. A baseline assessment of the primary and secondary outcome measures will be performed before randomization of the participants to the different groups, an immediate post-treatment assessment (1 day after the last intervention) and an assessment two months after the end of the procedure. intervention (follow-up). ;
