Comparative Effects of Neural Mobilization and Muscle Energy Technique on Pain, Range of Motion and Functional Disability in Patients With Sciatica:A Randomized Controlled Trial

In this study, investigator will see the effects of neural mobilization in comparison to the muscle energy technique in the patients suffering from sciatica. Impact of the these two interventional techniques , there out come measures i.e pain, range of motion and functional disability.

Detailed Description

This study is aimed in comparison among two interventional techniques i.e neural mobilization and muscle energy technique patients with sciatica. This study will be a randomized controlled trial with double blinded protocol, patients will be randomly allocated in to the two groups. one is the neural mobilization technique group and other is the muscle energy technique group. both of the groups have the conventional physical therapy in addition to these two interventions. data will be collect from the patients.30 minutes session twice a week will be given to the patients in each group. assessment will be done by using visual analog scale, Goniometer, Modified Oswestry Disability Index. Data will be entered and analyzed by using SPSS.

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: TREATMENT
  • Allocation: RANDOMIZED
  • Interventional Model: PARALLEL
  • Masking: DOUBLE

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: Neural mobilization
Patient in this study group will get 30 minutes session, twice weekly for 6 weeks. Neural mobilization technique will be applied to the subjects in addition to conventional treatment.
Other: Neural mobilization
Mobilization of the structures within and around the nervous system is broadly known as Neural Mobilization.
Other Names:
  • Rehabilitation following Neural Mobilization
EXPERIMENTAL: Muscle energy technique
Patient in this study group will get 30 minutes session, twice weekly for 6 weeks. Muscle energy technique will be applied to the subjects in addition to conventional treatment.
Other: Muscle energy technique
Manual therapy technique initially developed and used by the osteopaths is known as Muscle energy techniques(MET).This technique is effective for the pain reduction, lengthening of the shortened muscle and fascia, improvement in blood circulation and promoting lymph drainage.
Other Names:
  • Rehabilitation following muscle energy technique

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Visual Analogue Scale
Time Frame: 6 weeks
For the assessment of pain, Visual Analogue Scale will be used. it is 0 to 10 cm where 0 means no pain 10 means sever pain
6 weeks
Goniometry
Time Frame: 6 weeks
For the documentation of range of motion, straight leg raise test (SLR) will be used. For this purpose goniometer will use.
6 weeks
Modified Oswestry Disability Index
Time Frame: 6 weeks
For the assessment of functional disability Modified Oswestry Disability Index will be used.
6 weeks
