Overview
Brief Summary
The main objetive of this study is to analyze the effectiveness of a home rehabilitaton program vs a e-Health program. Therapeutic approach will be by electroanalgesia and exercise of patients with chronic low back pain.
Detailed Description
A double blind clinical trial will be developed in a sample of 80 subjects with chronic low back pain. Patients will receive 3 weekly sessions of electroanalgesia and an exercise program for 8 weeks, for a total of 24 sessions. The aim is to analyze the effectiveness of a home rehabilitation program vs a web platform program on disability, pain, fear of movement, quality of life, resistance of the trunk flexors, lumbar mobility in flexion and muscular electrical activity.

- Change from baseline in Fear of Movement. Tampa Scale of kinesiophobia.(At baseline, at 8 weeks and at 6 months)
- Change from Mcquade Test.(At baseline, at 8 weeks and at 6 months)
- Change from baseline on Quality of Life. SF-36 Health questionnaire.(At baseline, at 8 weeks and at 6 months)
- Changes from baseline in Lumbar electromyography.(At baseline, at 8 weeks and at 6 months)
