Photobiomodulation therapy has a negligible effect as an adjunct to motor control exercise in people with chronic non-specific low back pain: a randomised trial.

A randomized trial published in the Journal of Physiotherapy found that adding photobiomodulation therapy (low-level laser/light therapy) to motor control exercise produced negligible additional benefit for patients with chronic non-specific low back pain. The findings suggest that motor control exercise alone may be sufficient, and the adjunctive use of photobiomodulation does not meaningfully improve outcomes in this population. Clinicians treating chronic low back pain may use these results to guide decisions about combining these two interventions.
