Detailed Description

The study was designed as a randomized controlled trial involving 30 participants diagnosed with sacroiliac joint dysfunction. Participants were randomly divided into two equal groups of 15 using a lottery method. Group A underwent Gong's mobilization, whereas Group B received Jones's positional release technique. In addition, both groups were provided with baseline treatment, including TENS and stretching exercises. Each intervention was carried out three times per week for a duration of six weeks.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Gong's mobilization
A pain-free, sustained glide is applied to the sacroiliac joint by the therapist. The patient simultaneously performs active movements.
Other: Gong's mobilization
A pain-free, sustained glide is applied to the sacroiliac joint by the therapist. The patient simultaneously performs active movements.
Experimental: Jone's positional release
The therapist identifies a tender point. The patient is positioned in a way that reduces pain significantly. This position is held for about 90 seconds and the patient is then slowly returned to a neutral position.
Other: Jone's positional release
The therapist identifies a tender point. The patient is positioned in a way that reduces pain significantly. This position is held for about 90 seconds and the patient is then slowly returned to a neutral position.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Modified Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire
Time Frame: 6 weeks
The Modified Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire is a gold-standard tool used to measure a patient's functional disability level resulting from low back pain.
6 weeks
Visual Analogue Scale
Time Frame: 6 weeks
The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) is used to measure pain intensity. The VAS typically consists of a 100 mm (10 cm) horizontal line where zero means no pain and ten indicates worst possible pain.
6 weeks
