Summary
This study tested whether two types of electrical stimulation devices (TENS and interferential current) can reduce pain in people with chronic lower back pain. 334 adults with pain lasting at least 3 months were randomly assigned to receive the real device, a fake (sham) device, or their usual care. The main goal was to see if the devices lowered pain scores after 4 weeks compared to the sham or standard care.
