OBJECTIVES: This study was conducted to examine the effects of PEMF) and myofascial release Vs Laser and nerve glide on pain, functional disability in patients with lumbar fibromyalgia. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Participants (n = 80) with lumbar fibromyalgia were randomised into two groups; Group A: PEMF & myofascial release, Group B: laser & nerve glide. The interventions were given daily for 4 weeks. The outcomes were pain, disability index, hamstring tightness measured at day0 and after 4 weeks. RESULTS: The result suggested a both the group improvements in all parameters. However, a typical significant improvement in functional disability was observed after the 4th week between group comparisons. The maximum improvement was seen in group A followed by group B.
