Brief Summary

to investigate the effect of High Tone Power Therapy on Pain, Range of Motion and Quality of Life in Lumbosacral Radiculopathy Patients

Conditions

Radiculopathy Lumbar

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Pain Pressure Threshold Algometer

  An algometer is a device used with pressure algometry to measure the pain pressure threshold (PPT), which is the point at which a steadily increasing, non-painful pressure stimulus is perceived as painful.

  four weeks

• Back range of motion (BROM) goniometer device

  is a specialized instrument, often using inclinometers and magnets, that provides accurate and repeatable measurements of spinal movements such as flexion, extension, rotation, and lateral side bend

  four weeks

• Short Form Health Survey (SF-36)

  The the SF-36, is a 36-item questionnaire developed by the RAND Corporation to measure health-related quality of life across eight domains: physical functioning, bodily pain, role limitations (due to physical or emotional problems), social functioning, emotional well-being, vitality (energy/fatigue), and general health. It also includes an additional item to assess self-perceived health changes over time. A score range from 0 to 100. high scores indicate more quality of life

  four weeks

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Visual analogue scale for pain (VAS-P)

  four weeks

High tone power therapy DEVICE

High Tone Power Therapy (HiToP), or High-Frequency External Muscle Stimulation (HTEMS), is an advanced form of electrotherapy that uses medium-frequency sinusoidal currents with simultaneously modulated amplitude and frequency to treat various conditions, especially neurological symptoms and pain
