This study aim analyze the immediate effects of conventional transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and Burst TENS combined or not with cryotherapy in patients with non-specific low back pain.
All subjects will be submitted to an evaluation of the painful sensation, through the numerical rating scale, and pain threshold, through algometry, before, immediately after the intervention and 25 minutes after.
