The study examined the effect of pulsed therapeutic ultrasound in management of patients with incessant pain at lower region of the back (PWIPLB) in comparison with kneading massage (KM). Fifty PWIPLB recruited purposively were randomly assigned into ultrasound group (USG) and KM group (KMG) equally. Subjects received back extension exercises as baseline treatment. USG received pulse ultrasound (PUS) while KMG was treated using KM. The treatments were administered 2 times weekly for a 6-week period. Severity of pain (SP) and inability of patient (IoP) were evaluated at baseline, 3rd week and 6th week of treatment. Values of the variables obtained were classified and the implications were summarised. A significant change was observed in precompared with posttreatment SP ( F =32.6, P =0.000) and IoP ( F =2.5, P &lt;0.021) in USG. A significant change was observed in precompared with posttreatment IoP ( F =4.1, P &lt;0.05) but not in SP ( F =2.9, P &lt;0.086). In the 6th week, there was a significant reduction of SP in the USG relative to SP in the KMG ( F =11.98, P =0.000), and there was improvement significantly in the IoP in the KMG relative to that in the USG ( F =2.58, P =0.05). PUS may be better than KM in management of SP but KM is better than PUS in IoP with PWCPLB.
