Brief Summary

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.

Conditions

Acute Sciatica; Pain

Keywords

Neural mobilization; Muscle energy technique; Sciatica

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• 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

  6 weeks

• Goniometry

  For the documentation of range of motion, straight leg raise test (SLR) will be used. For this purpose goniometer will use.

  6 weeks

• Modified Oswestry Disability Index

  For the assessment of functional disability Modified Oswestry Disability Index will be used.

  6 weeks

Study Arms (2)

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.

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.

Other: Muscle energy technique

Interventions

Neural mobilization OTHER

Mobilization of the structures within and around the nervous system is broadly known as Neural Mobilization.

Also known as: Rehabilitation following Neural Mobilization

Neural mobilization

Muscle energy technique OTHER

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.

Also known as: Rehabilitation following muscle energy technique

Muscle energy technique
