While various treatment modalities exist, there is ongoing interest in exploring novel approaches to manage this condition effectively. Laser photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy is a non-invasive and painless method that stimulates cells, pain receptors, and the immune system and can cause analgesic effects. In recent years, high-intensity laser has been used for managing musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction that allows for more energy deposition in deep tissues, resulting in both biological effects and thermal effects. High-intensity laser acupuncture (HILA) has emerged as a promising intervention that combines the therapeutic effects of high-intensity laser therapy and the principles of acupuncture point stimulation on the body (acupoints) to induce physiological effect. However, there is limited evidence supporting HILA efficacy in the management ofCNSLBP, with only a few studies available. For that, this study aims to investigate the effect of HILA on muscle performance, back pain, and quality of life in patients with CNSLBP. Through this current randomized controlled trial, we seek to provide evidence-based insights into the potential effects of this combined approach on measurements of muscle performance, back pain, and quality of life."}, "eligibilityModule"=>{"sex"=>"ALL", "stdAges"=>["ADULT"], "maximumAge"=>"40 years", "minimumAge"=>"20 years", "healthyVolunteers"=>false, "eligibilityCriteria"=>"Inclusion Criteria:\n\n1.
