Summary

This study looked at three treatments for chronic low back pain: standard physiotherapy, balneotherapy (mineral baths) plus physiotherapy, and prolotherapy (dextrose injections). 84 adults with pain lasting over 3 months took part. After 4 weeks, researchers measured pain, disability, and quality of life to see which approach worked best.
