All patients were evalu­ated before and after treatment using a visual analog scale. Mann whitney test hypothesis testing in the group of TENS obtained QVAS value p = 0,026, while in the group massage therapy obtained QVAS value p = 0,024 are statistically significant decrease pain. Wilcoxon test result hypothesis between TENS with massage therapy obtained after treatment p = 0,004 means there is significant difference between TENS with massage therapy.
