In the modern society the low back pain (LBP) is the most common cause of temporary loss of disability with estimated life time prevalence as high as 23–80% (Pedisic Z. et al., 2013). LBP with radiculopathy is considered as the most unfavorable prognostic risk factor for the development of chronic pain syndrome and low quality of life (Konstantinou K. et al., 2013). The aim of this study is to evaluate the short-term efficacy of repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation (rPMS) in the treatment of lumbosacral radiculopathy. The preliminary results of our study demonstrate that the combination of traditional drug therapy and the rPMS can have positive short-term effects on functional status and pain in patients with lumbosacral radiculopathy. Further investigations are warranted for development of the individualized rPMS treatment algorithm
