SUMMARY:

In the present study, we evaluated whether the use of interferential current contributes to reducing chronic low back pain and analyzed whether the electrotherapeutic protocol can benefit the physical functionality of patients with chronic low back pain. 24 individuals were evaluated, with low back pain for more than 12 weeks and aged between 12 and 65 years. the current used in the lumbar region of the participants was of the tetrapolar interferential type and the stimulation mode was the automatic vector, carrier frequency of 4,000 hz, modulation frequency (amf) of 50 hz, sweep frequency of sweep of 20hz. pain and functionality assessment were performed using the data collection instrument the visual analog pain scale (vas), rolland morris disability questionnaire (rmdq) and the owestry disability questionnaire (odq) respectively. our data demonstrate that individuals submitted to interferential current present significant improvement in pain relief, as well as in the functional pattern of pain improvement. the present study demonstrates that treatment with interferential current promotes physical improvement in participants, which opens up new perspectives on the use of this therapeutic approach.
