About this study
Official title: 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.
Read the 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.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Neural mobilizationOther
Also called Rehabilitation following Neural Mobilization
Mobilization of the structures within and around the nervous system is broadly known as Neural Mobilization.
Muscle energy techniqueOther
Also called Rehabilitation following 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.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Neural mobilization | Active comparator | 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. Receives: Other: Neural mobilization |
| Muscle energy technique | Experimental | 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. Receives: Other: Muscle energy technique |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Visual Analogue Scale
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
Measured: 6 weeks
Goniometry
For the documentation of range of motion, straight leg raise test (SLR) will be used. For this purpose goniometer will use.
Measured: 6 weeks
Modified Oswestry Disability Index
For the assessment of functional disability Modified Oswestry Disability Index will be used.
Measured: 6 weeks

What does the primary outcome measure?
Visual Analogue Scale (time frame: 6 weeks). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
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 May 2021.
