Overview

This study aims to compare the effects of Dry Dynamic Cupping and Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) in patients with chronic myofascial low back pain. The interventions will be evaluated for their effectiveness in reducing pain, improving functional disability, and enhancing quality of life. The findings may help identify a more effective treatment approach for managing chronic myofascial low back pain.
