Interventions
It will be a randomized, double-blind clinical study, which will have 5 intervention groups. Each group will have a convenience sample of 15 volunteers. The randomization of the groups will be carried
Group 2 – Rehabilitation protocol + Photobiomodulation 48 J for 16 sessions (6 points in the lumbar spine)
Group 3 – Rehabilitation protocol + Photobiomodulation 480 J for 16 sessions (6 points in the lumbar spine)
Group 4 – Rehabilitation protocol + Photobiomodulation 480 J for 16 sessions increasing energy (6 points lumbar spine), 1st Week: PBM 48 J
2nd Week: PBM 144 J
3rd Week: PBM 192 J

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected that the intervention will lead to an improvement in the volunteers' pain. Which will be evaluated through the visual analogue scale, the measurements occurred in the initial evaluation, on all days of treatment and in the final evaluation and follow-up. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Functional improvement of individuals is expected as a secondary outcome, who will be assessed using the Oswestry Disability Questionnaire, the measurements will take place at the initial, final and follow-up assessments.;It is expected to alter the electromyographic activity of the lumbar spine stabilizer muscles. The electromyographic analysis will take place in the initial and final evaluation of the project and the evaluated muscles will be the multifideous, transversus abdominis and gluteus medius. | — |
