Official title
COMPARATIVE EFFECTS OF STECCO-FASCIAL MANIPULATION AND ROLFING STRUCTURAL INTEGRATION IN PATIENTS WITH PIRIFORMIS SYNDROME; A RANDOMIZED CLINICAL TRIAL
Overview
This study aims to compare the effectiveness of Stecco Fascial Manipulation and Rolfing Structural Integration in treating Piriformis syndrome, focusing on special outcomes like pain severity and functional outcomes. comparison will be done to check the effectiveness of Stecco-fascial Manipulation and Rolfing Structural Integration on patients of both groups. participants will: 1. get the treatment according to their respective groups 2. Both groups were given 4 sessions for 4 weeks.
Detailed description
This study will be a randomized clinical trial with a sample size of 42 participants as calculated with g power tool with 5% of attrition added. Subjects will be obtained by non- probability convenient sampling based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Participants will be randomly assigned into two groups, 21 subjects in each group. The group A will receive the stecco fascial manipulation along with the conventional therapy while group B will receive the rolfing structural integration along with conventional therapy. The conventional physiotherapy protocol will include TENS applied with a Hot- pack for 10 minutes that will be followed by piriformis stretch.The data analysis will be done by IBM SPSS 26.0 version. To check the normality Shaprio- Wilk test will be used.
Interventions
- Other Experimental: GROUP A ( Stecco fascial Manipulation)
Stecco-fascial manipulation primary reduces pain, improves range of motion, restores normal muscle recruitment link in myofascial sequences, facilitates healing by improving microcirculation and lymphatic drainage. - Other Experimental: GROUP B (Rolfing Structural Integration)
Rolfing structural integration improves posture, reduces pain, lengthens fascial planes and enhances the movement efficiency. This research will determine which approach is more effective in treating the patient with piriformis syndrome.
Primary outcome measures
- Change From Baseline in Pain Intensity as Measured by the Numerical Pain Rating Rating Scale (NPRS) [Time frame: 4 Weeks]
- Universal Goniometer [Time frame: 4 Weeks]
Secondary outcome measures (2)
- FAIR Test [Time frame: 4 Weeks]
- Slump Test [Time frame: 4 Weeks]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
- 25 to 45 age group.
- For at least four weeks, there has been unilateral buttock discomfort, either with or without posterior thigh pain included buttock pain, pain that worsened when sitting.
- Positive slump test and fair test decrease ranges of hip NPRS greater than
Exclusion criteria
- Previous pelvic, ipsilateral hip, lumbar, or sacroiliac surgery that would have confused pain source.
- Evidence of lumbar radiculopathy or another spinal condition that could be the origin of the symptoms (matching MRI/CT revealing nerve root compression or disc herniation). progressive neurologic disease or neuromuscular disease (e.g., peripheral neuropathy, myopathy, neuromuscular junction diseases)28.
- During the research period, pregnancy or the planning of pregnancy (if interventions are employed) active pelvic or hip infection, malignancy, fracture, or systemic inflammation.
