Brief summary (from the registry)
Prior studies showed contradictory results about the best type of TENS in chronic pain pathology. Therefore we want to evaluate the efficacy assessment of TENS on patients with chronic low back pain or chronic lumbo-radiculalgia. The functional ability score is evaluated by the Roland scale at 6 weeks.
