Abstract : Non Specific Low Back Pain, Transcutaneus Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS), Massage Therapy. The cause of the symptoms of non specific low back pain is the mechanics factor because over load of the spine. Transcutaneus electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and massage therapy is a method that can be used to decrease pain caused by the occurrence of non specific low back pain. This study aimed to investigate the effect and influence of the difference between TENS with massage therapy to decrease of pain in patients with non specific low back pain. This study employed with experimental two group pre test and post test design. Twelve patients with non specific low back pain were randomly divided into two groups: TENS (group 1) and massage therapy (group 2). 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. TENS was more effective in improving pain than massage therapy for patient with non specific low back pain.
