Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
It is expected to identify a reduction in pain and an improvement in functionality in individuals with chronic low back pain, verified through the application of capacitive and resistive electrical therapy (TECAR) associated with physical exercise, based on the observation of a clinically meaningful minimal change in pain and functional assessment scores between pre- and post-intervention measurements.;Reduction in pain levels in individuals with chronic low back pain, assessed through clinically meaningful minimal changes between pre- and post-intervention measurements.	—
