NCT04860609

Brief Summary

This is an RCT study in which 60 participant are included and half of the participant are randomized via lottery method in control and experimental group after fulfilling the inclusion criteria. The sampling technique is convenient sampling . The study compare the effects of conventional Physical Therapy and Decompression Therapy and determine the effectiveness of Decompression as treatment procedure for patients with Lumbar disc protrusion. The data collection procedure included the NPRS, ODI, structural questionnaire and assesment on the 1st, 4th and 8th visit. Data will be analyzed on IBM SPSS-21 {Statistical Procedure of Social Sciences} software. The assessment will be done on 1st, 4th and 8th visits. after checking the normality of the date the Parametric/Non Parametric test will be apply to compare the means of the these groups. The 95% confidence interval will be used in term OD p value 0.05

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

  • Numeric pain rating scale for back

    It is numeric pain rating scale for measuring pain intensity. it ranges from 0-10.In which 0 shows no pain,1-3 (mild pain),4-6(moderate pain) and 10 shows severe pain. As guided by the researcher, pain intensity was marked by the patient

    8th weeks

  • Flexion Range of Motion of lumber

    Double inclinometer is used

    8th weeks

  • SLR

    Single Inclinometer

    8th weeks

  • Side bending Lumber ROm

    Double inclinometer
