Key Points

To compare the effectiveness of radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy versus infrared therapy in treating myofascial low back pain.
Conducted a comparative study between two treatment groups: one receiving shock wave therapy and the other infrared therapy, both combined with physical therapy.
Measured patient outcomes related to pain relief and functional improvement after the interventions.
Patients in the shock wave therapy group experienced greater improvement in pain reduction compared to the infrared therapy group.
Functional outcomes were also significantly better in the radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy group.

Implication

Comparison suggests that radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy improves outcomes in myofascial low back pain, highlighting its effectiveness.
