Analyze the short-term effects of short-wave diathermy and ultrasound therapy on pain intensity, functional disability, and lumbar joint range of motion in patients with lumbar spondylosis.
Evaluate and compare the clinical effectiveness of ultrasound, short-wave diathermy, and placebo interventions on patient-reported outcomes related to lumbar spondylosis.
Critically discuss the roles of placebo effects and clinical heterogeneity in interpreting therapeutic outcomes and designing future research for lumbar spondylosis management.
