Effects of photobiomodulation therapy associated with motor control exercise for chronic non-specific low back pain: protocol for a randomised placebo-controlled trial.

ABSTRACT: Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT), as an adjunct therapy to exercise, can reduce pain in musculoskeletal disorders. In addition, PBMT associated with exercise decreases fatigue, accelerates muscle recovery and enhances performance and gain through different training protocols. Although it has not been investigated, the association of PBMT and exercise therapy could be an alternative to improve the positive effects of exercise in patients with non-specific low back pain (LBP). Therefore, we aim to evaluate the effects of PBMT associated with motor control exercise (MCE) versus placebo associated with MCE in patients with chronic non-specific LBP. This is a prospectively registered, two-arm, randomised, placebo-controlled, triple-blind trial. A total of 148 patients with chronic non-specific
