简要总结
Aim: To evaluate and compare the effectiveness of a combined treatment of TENS or Elec-tromagnetic and Back School with the effectiveness of only the Back School treatment.
Design: Single-blind experimental prospective study of clinic intervention. Setting: Physiotherapy and Speech Therapy Unit at the Cambrils Slight Hospital. Spain.
Population: 96 women (50-85 years) with chronic low back pathology. Methods: Subjects were divided into three randomized groups: Back School (group 1), TENS with Back School (group 2), and Magnetic therapy with Back School (group 3). They have re-ceived 20 sessions of treatment. The intensity of pain (EVA Scale) and the quality of life (Oswestry Scale) were measured, at the beginning and at the end of the treatment and after three and six months. Anthropometric and physical activity variables were collected.

结局指标
主要结局
Oswestry disability index (ODI)
时间窗: 24 weeks
. The ODI assesses nine different aspects of disability, affecting various functions of daily life (personal care, lifting, walking, sitting, standing, sleeping, sex life, social life, and traveling). The questionnaire is scored using a global percentage score. For every section, one of six options is chosen. Each section is scored 0-5, with 0 indicating no limitation of function due to pain, and with 5 indicating major functional disability due to back pain.
Pain was measured at the beginning and after the treatment with the Visual Scale Analogue (VAS)
时间窗: 24 weeks
The VAS scale represents the pain intensity on a line of 10 cm, at one end there are the words "no pain" and the other end "the worst imaginable pain " written, the distance in centimetres from the "no pain" point to the place marked by the patient represents the intensity of pain
次要结局
