%X Aim: Chronic low back pain represents a significant societal problem leading to increased healthcare costs and quality of life. This study was designed to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of non-invasive spinal electromagnetic simulation (SEMS) to treat nonspecific chronic low back pain (CLBP). Methods: A single-site prospective study was conducted to evaluate SEMS in reducing pain and improving disability. A total of 17 patients received SEMS two to three sessions a week. The Numeric Rating Scale and the Modified Oswestry Disability Questionnaire were used to assess pain and disability. Results: Participants receiving SEMS exhibited statistically significant reductions in pain and disability. Conclusion: Current results suggest that non-invasive SEMS can be an effective treatment in reducing pain and improving disability associated with CLBP.
