Figure 2 Weighted mean difference (95% CI) effect of conservative interventions on pain at the conclusion of a course of treatment compared with control. ENAR = electro neuro adaptive regulator (proprietary branded TENS), Multimodal A = exercises, massage and electrotherapy, Multimodal B = exercises, massage, electrotherapy and manual therapy, PEMT = pulsed electromagnetic therapy, TENS = transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation.
