Brief Summary:
This study will be conducted to compare the effect of low-level laser and interferential current on postmenopausal low back pain.
Detailed Description:
Low back pain (LBP) is a major health problem affecting majority of the people at some point of their life.The prevalence of postmenopausal LBP is 32.4%. It has major implication for quality of life, such as limitation of daily activities and physiological stress, being one of the main causes of work absenteeism.
The prolonged use of NSAIDs is associated with cardiovascular, hepatic, and renal problems. Therefore, there is a need for emphasis on alternative methods of conservative treatment as non-pharmacological and non-invasive therapy to relieve postmenopausal LBP.
Low level laser has been proven to have an impact on postmenopausal LBP, through several mechanisms as (a) increased endogenous opioid neurotransmitter production ;(b)raised threshold to thermal pain and enhanced local blood circulation ; (c)increased oxygen consumption by accelerating the redox reaction rate of the electron respiratory chain of mitochondria ; (d) increased adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production at the cellular level ;(e) increased production of the anti-inflammatory cytokines.
Also, another non- invasive technique is the interferential current which is one of the existing electrotherapy treatments used to reduce pain and has been studied for its effectiveness in relieving LBP through its deeper penetration into the tissues.
So, this study will be conducted to provide new evidence and information about the efficacy of low-level laser versus interferential current on LBP in postmenopausal women
