Brief Summary: The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of method Lumbar Segmental Stabilization and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation TENS on pain functional disability and ability to activate the transversus abdominis TrA of individuals with chronic back pain caused by disc herniation
Detailed Description: Objective To contrast the efficacy efficacy of method Lumbar Segmental Stabilization and TENS on pain functional capacity and ability to activate the TrA of individuals with chronic back pain caused by disc herniation

Design Sixty patients are being randomized into two groups namely Lumbar Segmental Stabilization LS specific exercises for the muscles transversus abdominis and lumbar multifidus n 30 and TENS group TG n 30 receiving assistance under a current of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation TENS Groups were contrasted regarding pain visual analogical scale and McGill pain questionnaire functional disability Oswestry disability questionnaire and TrA muscle activation capacity Pressure Biofeedback Unit PBU The program lasts for 8 weeks and sessions happen twice a week with duration of one hour each Evaluations will be performed before after and with a follow-up six months after treatment Significance level is established at 5
