Официальное название

Comparative Effects of Dry Needling Versus Soft Tissue Mobilization on Hamstring Tightness in Chronic Low Back Pain

Обзор

The hamstring tightness is considered as the inability to achieve knee extension greater than 160 degrees while hip is flexed at 90 degrees. When low back pain (LBP) persists for 12 weeks or longer, it is termed as chronic low back pain. The objective of study is to see the effect of dry needling versus soft tissue mobilization on hamstring muscle on pain, range of motion and functionality in patients with chronic low back pain.

Подробное описание

A randomized clinical trial will be conducted at Hameed Latif Medical Centre through non probability convenient sampling technique on 30 subjects which will be divided into two groups' 15 subjects in group A and 15 subjects in group B through computer generated software for Randomization. Both groups will be conventional therapy and spinal mobilization (posterior anterior glide) of grade 1 and 2 (3 sets of 6 repetitions) as baseline treatment. Group A was will be dry needling and Group B will be Soft Tissue Mobilization.

  Baseline Treatment: Hot pack will be applied for 15 minutes on Hamstrings and lower back and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) at lower back for warm up and pain relief to both groups. Then spinal mobilization (Poster lateral glide) of grade 1 and 2 (3 sets of 6 repetitions) i.e. within the spine resistance. Dry Needling will be given to group A along with baseline treatment through following protocol: Patient will be in prone lying. Sterilized disposable dry needles of 0.25\*
