Actual (reported)This retrospective observational study compares the effectiveness of two CRET therapies in adults with physical dysfunction. It evaluates whether the UNIQ electrode Fisiowarm 7.0 improves lumbar ROM (Schober test) and reduces pain (VAS scores) more effectively than the classical methodology, with assessments at baseline (T0) and two weeks (T1).
