About this study

Official title: Effect of Releasing Quadratus Lumborum Muscle on Angles of Hip Joint in Asymptomatic Individuals

The purpose of this study are to compare angles of hip joint between before and after releasing quadratus lumborum muscle.

Read the detailed description

The 1st physical therapist performed the modified Thomas test position. The participant was asked to lie supine over the edge of the couch. The participant hold one knee to the chest tightly while the other knee was bent over the end of the couch. The 2nd physical therapist measured angles of hip and knee using a standard goniometer at baseline. The quadratus lumborum muscle was released. Then the same measurement was repeated.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • releasing muscleOther

    At baseline, hip and knee angles were measured. The quadratus lumborum muscle was released. After that, the hip and knee angles were re-measured.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing releasing muscle in people with Muscle, run by Mahidol University.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Jun 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Hip abduction angle (time frame: 5 minutes). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03016559, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 Jun 2018.
