About

Patients who come to Tavşanlı Assoc. Prof. Dr. Mustafa Kalemli State Hospital, Physical Therapy, and Rehabilitation Department who have been diagnosed with Chronic Low Back Pain by a physician will be included. Patients will be divided into two groups by the physician: conservative treatment and patients whose treatment program is determined as multi-wave locked system laser treatment in addition to conservative treatment. Pain intensity will be measured with a numerical pain rating scale. The Roland-Morris disability questionnaire will be used to evaluate the functionality of the participants, and the esthesiometer will be used to assess tactile acuity. Pressure pain threshold will be evaluated with the MicroFET 2 device. The Turkish Form of the SF-12 Quality of Life Scale will be used to assess the participants' quality of life. Pittsburgh's sleep quality index will be used to evaluate sleep quality. Patient satisfaction will be evaluated with a numerical rating scale.
