%X The aim of the study is to compare the results of patients with chronic lumbar disc herniation whose type of treatment did not come to an agreement. The results will be compared in terms of pain and lower back range of motion by Nottingham Health Protocol (NHP) (pain, physical capacity, fatigue, sleep disorder, social isolation and emotional status). The patients have been given medical treatment along with resting for two weeks. What is more, patients have been applied physiotherapy and they have been informed about a healthy lower back. Twenty-eight patients were divided into two groups. The first group (DD group) were applied the hot pack (HP) + ultrasound (US) + diphase current (DF) + curt period (CP) and the second group (IF group) were applied HP + US + vacuum with interferential current. Their superiority to each other have been analyzed. SPSS 6.0 software has been used to evaluate the recorded data. At the end of the study, significant differences have been found in terms of recovery, pain relief, improvement of physical activities and psychosocial recovery among patients treated with interferential currents and diadynamic currents. It is concluded that the combination of IF currents and vacuum, combined with US, is an effective treatment method for patients with chronic lumbar disc herniation
