Brief Summary:
Lumbar radiculopathy is a neuromusculoskeletal condition that is characterized as radiating pain in the leg described as electric, burning, or sharp, and is associated with dermatomal or myotomal differences and tendon reflex abnormalities. Neural mobilization is a manual therapy technique designed to alleviate nerve pain and dysfunction by gently mobilizing the nerve along its pathway. The Progressive Inhibition of Neuromuscular Structures (PINS) technique is a therapeutic approach that aims to reduce pain and muscle tension by sequentially applying pressure to specific points along a muscle or nerve pathway. This study focuses on pain, range of motion and disability with these techniques in patients with lumbar radiculopathy.
Detailed Description:
This study will be a randomized controlled trial and will be conducted in Hassan healthcare centre Gujrat. Non-probability conveninet sampling technique will be used to collect the data. Sample size of 48 subjects (per group 16) with age group between 18-40 years will be taken. Individuals having radiculopathy at level of L5-S1 (unilateral radiculopathy) and pain in the distribution of sciatic nerve (leg-dominant symptoms). Outcome measure will be taken using Numeric pain rating scale (NPRS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), Sciatica Bothersomeness Index (SBI), Goniometer. An informed consent will be taken. Subjects will be selected on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria and will be equally divided into three groups. Both the Groups will receive Hot Pack, lumbar stabilization including curl ups and side bridging and stretching include hamstring stretch and piriformis stretch. Group A will receive PINS technique as per Dowling's guidelines. Group 2 will receive Neural mobilization technique. Groyup 3 will receive both PINS and neural mobilization technique. Outcome measures will be measured at baseline and after 4 weeks. Each group (both single and combined) will receive two treatments per week for 30 min each, for 4 weeks. Data analysis will be done by SPSS version 26.
