Summary

This study tested a non-invasive treatment called repeated peripheral magnetic stimulation (rPMS) for people with long-term low back pain. 40 adults received 10 sessions over 2 weeks, with some getting real stimulation and others a sham. Researchers measured pain, disability, and quality of life to see if the magnetic pulses help reduce pain without surgery or drugs.
