Summary
This study tests whether a handheld vibration massager can reduce pain and improve sleep quality in people with non-specific low back pain lasting at least three months. Half of the 50 participants will receive vibration massager therapy from a physiotherapist, while the other half will receive standard physiotherapy (such as heat or ultrasound). The trial measures changes in pain-related disability and sleep quality over the study period.
