Abstract
This study examined the effects of repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation on pain, disability, and quality of
life in chronic low back pain patients. Thirty subjects were randomly assigned to experimental and control
groups, and rPMS was applied to the experimental group for 10 minutes per day, 5 times a week for a total of 4
weeks. The subject’s was evaluated by a VAS test, KODI test, and SF-36 test. In the experimental group, significant
decrease was observed in the VAS test and the KODI test after treatment (p < .05), and there was significant
difference in the VAS test and the KODI test compared to the control group (p < .05). The results of this
study suggest that rPMS applied effects the pain and disability in low back pain patients.
