to investigate the effect of High Tone Power Therapy on Pain, Range of Motion and Quality of Life in Lumbosacral Radiculopathy Patients
BACKGROUND: Lumbosacral radiculopathy is a disorder that causes pain in the lower back and hip, as radicular pain is commonly caused by the compression of lumbar spinal nerve roots. High-tone therapy represents a novel form of electrotherapy distinguished from traditional methods by its dynamic modulation of frequency and amplitude. This innovative approach delivers increased energy levels to tissues. Therefore, there has been significant interest in utilizing high-tone therapy for treating various disorders HYPOTHESES: It will be hypothesized that there will be no statically Effect of High Tone Power Therapy on Pain, Range of Motion and Quality of Life in Lumbosacral Radiculopathy Patients RESEARCH QUESTION: Is there an Effect of High Tone Power Therapy on Pain, Range of Motion and Quality of Life in Lumbosacral Radiculopathy Patients

High Tone Power Therapy (HiToP), or High-Frequency External Muscle Stimulation (HTEMS), is an advanced form of electrotherapy that uses medium-frequency sinusoidal currents with simultaneously modulated amplitude and frequency to treat various conditions, especially neurological symptoms and pain

RECRUITINGPain Pressure Threshold Algometer
An algometer is a device used with pressure algometry to measure the pain pressure threshold (PPT), which is the point at which a steadily increasing, non-painful pressure stimulus is perceived as painful.

The RAND 36-Item Health Survey (Version 1.0) (SF-36) questionnaires,
The RAND 36-Item Health Survey, also known as the SF-36, is a 36-item questionnaire developed by the RAND Corporation to measure health-related quality of life across eight domains: physical functioning, bodily pain, role limitations (due to physical or emotional problems), social functioning, emotional well-being, vitality (energy/fatigue), and general health. It also includes an additional item to assess self-perceived health changes over time.
Time frame: four weeks
Visual analogue scale for pain (VAS-P)
The pain VAS is a unidimensional measure of pain intensity, used to record patients' pain progression, or compare pain severity between patients with similar conditions. VAS has been widely used in diverse adult populations for example; those with rheumatic diseases, patients with chronic pain Using a ruler, the score is determined by measuring the distance (mm) on the 10-cm line between the "no pain" anchor and the patient's mark, providing a range of scores from 0-100. A higher score indicates greater pain intensity
