Electromagnetic transduction therapy in non-specific low back pain: A prospective randomised controlled trial.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: A prospective randomised controlled trial to investigate the efficacy of electromagnetic transduction therapy (EMTT) for treatment of patients with non-specific low back pain. DESIGN: Two groups with non-specific low back pain were either treated with conventional therapy alone over 6 weeks or in combination with 8 sessions of EMTT. RESULTS: In both intervention groups the low back pain related pain and the degree of disability decreased significantly at follow-up visits. Combination of EMTT and conventional therapy proved significant superior to conventional therapy alone. CONCLUSION: EMTT is a promising treatment in patients with non-specific low back pain.
