Effects on perceived pain and somatosensory function after transcutaneous neuromodulation in patients with chronic low back pain: a quasi-experimental study with a crossover intervention.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Transcutaneous magnetic neuromodulation is a noninvasive technique that may influence pain perception and mobility by modulating epidermal afferents and autonomic nervous system activity. However, its effects on chronic non-specific low back pain (CNSLBP) remain unclear.

Objective

This study evaluated the effects of transcutaneous neuromodulation applied to the lumbar spine on the pressure pain threshold (PPT) and ankle dorsiflexion range of motion (DROM) in patients with chronic non-specific low back pain.

Methods

A single-group prospective cohort study with crossover intervention was conducted from June to December 2021. A convenience sample of 39 patients with CNSLBP was included in this study. Each participant received two interventions in a randomized
