Investigation of Conservative Treatment Preferences of Patients With Chronic Low Back and Neck Pain

"Each participant will receive electrotherapy treatment three times a week for four weeks. Each treatment session will consist of 20 minutes of TENS, 20 minutes of hot pack, and 6 minutes of ultrasound therapy. Twelve weeks after the treatment, participants will be contacted by phone and asked about their improvement using the Global Rating of Change Scale (GRC). Pain intensity and disability level will be reassessed through phone interviews using the Numeric Pain Scale, the Oswestry Disability Index for low back pain, and the Neck Disability Index for neck pain at the 12th week. Thus, it will be evaluated whether there is any difference in patient satisfaction, pain intensity, and disability at the 12th week between participants who selected electrotherapy as the most effective method and those who chose other treatments."
