Of the 11 studies reviewed by the authors, it was shown that ETT support for low back pain relief was usually installed in the lumbar region 5 (L5) and sacrum (S1) with a band pattern I. ETT can be done 2 times a week and the ETT is replaced 3 days every 3 weeks for best results. optimally with a duration of 24-72 hours.
