简要总结
Purposes of the study
To investigate the effect of pulsed magnetic therapy versus phonophoresis in discogenic lumbar radiculopathy patients
详细描述
Patients will be randomized into either pulsed magnetic therapy group or phonophoresis group. Patients will receive the intervention for six weeks. Outcomes will be assessed at baseline and post-intervention.
