To Find Effectiveness of Stretching Versus Soft Tissue Mobilization in Coccydynia in Postpartum Females

March 29, 2025 updated by: Muhammad Naveed Babur, Superior University
This research is to determine the effectiveness of stretching versus soft tissue mobilization in coccydynia patients.The main purpose of the study is the the development of evidence based therapeutic protocols for postpartum coccydynia patients to improve functional impairment, range of motion, and reduction of pain.

Detailed Description

The study design is randomized controlled trial.The interventions were carried out twice a week for three weeks with each session lasting approximately 20 min.Group A contains 34 patients and received STM focusing on mobilizing soft tissue to enhance circulation reduce scar tissue and improve functional flexibility.Group B received both STM and stretching twice a week for three weeks with each session lasting approximately 20 min.During entire treatment the therapist kept close eye on patient discomfort.The significance of the study lies in it's potential to enhance more effective non invasive treatment to alleviate symptoms

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
NUMERIC PAIN RATING SCALE(NPRS)
Time Frame: 12 Months
The Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) is a widely used, 11-point scale (0-10) for measuring pain intensity, with 0 representing "no pain" and 10 representing "worst pain imaginable
12 Months
Oswestry Disability Index (ODI)
Time Frame: 12 Months
The Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) scores disability levels related to low back pain on a scale of 0 to 100, with 0 indicating no disability and 100 representing the highest level of disability
12 Months
