Brief summary (from the registry)
Sleep problems in patients with CLBP are a very common complication and is the most neglected part of the management. Though previous literature suggested that sleep problems need to be managed in patients with CLBP, no physical therapy or manual therapy techniques has been checked for their efficacy to manage the same. Therefore, there is a need to check the efficacy of various physical therapy and manual therapy techniques so that sleep problems associated with CLBP can be managed effectively by physical means. The main purpose of the study is to check the efficacy of tDCS and CST to improve sleep, pain and quality of life in patients with CLBP.
