Effects of Myofacial Release Technique and Sciatic Nerve Slider Technique in Sciatica
A study testing Myofacial release technique and sciatic nerve slider technique and Myofacial release technique in people with Sciatic Neuropathy and Sciatica, run by Riphah International University at 1 site in Pakistan.
Trial summary
Sciatica is not a medical condition itself, but is a symptom of whatever condition is affecting your sciatic nerve. Pain in the lower back, hip and legs is the most common symptom. However, tingling, numbness and weakness are also symptoms of a damaged sciatic nerve. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Effects of Myofacial Release Technique With and Without Sciatic Nerve Slider Technique on Pain Range of Motion and Functional Disability Among Cricket Players With Sciatica.
Sciatica is not a medical condition itself, but is a symptom of whatever condition is affecting your sciatic nerve. Pain in the lower back, hip and legs is the most common symptom. However, tingling, numbness and weakness are also symptoms of a damaged sciatic nerve. Physical therapy is a popular and effective way of treating the pain from sciatica. Myofascial release (MFR) is another useful option for sciatica due to the fact that it focuses the connective tissues of the body, including muscles and the fibrous tissues, often called fascia, encircling the joints.This study will be conducted to compare the Effects of myofacial release technique with and without sciatic nerve slider technique on Pain, Range of Motion and Functional Disability among cricket players with Sciatica. This study will be conducted because, no such evidence found in literature to find out the effects of myofacial release technique with sciatic nerve slider technique for sciatica. Myofacial release technique and sciatic nerve slider technique are useful, because these can reduce patients number of visits for the treatment and are easy to use, feasible and cost effective. The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the human body. It is formed at the point where five nerves from the lower back all come together, and stretches all the way from the hips to the bottoms of the feet. When this important nerve becomes compressed, inflamed or irritated, it causes the pain in the lower back and legs known as sciatica. A physical therapist uses a number of proven methods to help relieve sciatic pain. One of the most commonly employed methods is known as myofascial release therapy. Myofascial release is a method that a physical therapist can use to treat many sources of pain that are caused by damage to the nervous system. It involves the therapist using hands-on, manual techniques to release areas of tension and pain in the body. Here are three reasons that myofascial release is an effective tool for treating sciatica.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Myofacial release technique and sciatic nerve slider technique and Myofacial release technique in people with Sciatic Neuropathy and Sciatica, run by Riphah International University at 1 site in Pakistan.
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 6 inclusion and 7 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Aug 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Pakistan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
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?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Muhammad Atif Javed, PP-DPT (+923317491071, atif.javed@riphah.edu.pk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
range of motion (time frame: 0 6 WEEKS 12 WEEKS). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT06536829, which also lists 4 linked publications.
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 5 Aug 2024.
