Brief summary (from the registry)
This quasi-experimental, non-randomized, parallel-group clinical trial aims to compare the effectiveness of various deep heating modalities-microwave diathermy, shortwave diathermy, and therapeutic ultrasound-when combined with a standard lumbar exercise program in patients with chronic low back pain. The study will evaluate their effects on pain, functional disability, kinesiophobia, and quality of life. Outcomes will be assessed at baseline and after the 3-week treatment period.
