Effect of Dynamic Cupping & Myofascial Release on Pain, ROM and Performance in Athletes With Low Back Pain
Condition: Low Back Pain; Myofascial Pain; Back Strain
MeSH terms: Back Pain; Low Back Pain
Study type: Interventional

Summary: 
      Data will be collected at Pakistan Sports Board Lahore. Study design will be Randomized
      Clinical Trial. Sample size is 28. Population will be divided into two Groups by Convinient
      Sampling Technique. Group A willl be Treated with Dynamic Cupping And Group B will be Treated
      with Soft Tissue Myofascial Release. Inclinometer, Back Pain Functional Scale, Functional
      Mobility Scale and Numerc Pain Rating Scale will be used to generate the outcomes of study.
    

Detailed description: 
      The objective of this study is to compare the Effects Of Dynamic Cupping Versus Myofascial
      Release on Pain, Range of motion and Function in athletes with non-specific low back pain.

      Tools to be used in this study will be :

      Inclinometer: An inclinometer is a sensor used to measure the magnitude of the inclination
      angle or deformation of any structure

      . Back Pain Functional Scale: a subjective scale used to measure the patient's physical
      function after low back pain.

      FMS: The Functional Mobility Scale (FMS) has been constructed to classify functional
      mobility.

      Numeric PAIN Ratig Scale: The numeric rating scale (NRS) is a pain the screening tool,
      commonly used to assess pain severity at that moment in time using a 0-10 scale, with zero
      meaning "no pain" and 10 meaning "the worst pain imaginable".

      The study will be collected from Sports related persons at Pakistan Sports Board Lahore.
      First, a consent form will be filled the person and then the data will be recorded through
      our questionaire on day 1 and then after 6 weeks of treatment. Group A will be treated with
      Dynamic Cupping and Group B will be treated with Myofascial release. Group A: will be an
      interventional group and it will be treated by using dynamic cupping. Heating pad will be
      applied for 10 minutes as a base treatment then olive oil or petroleum jelly will be applied
      and cup will be placed,a vacuum will be created by using a vacuum pump then the cup will be
      moved to and fro or in figure of 8 for 5 minutes. Group B : Will be a control group and it
      will be treated by soft tissue myofascial release. Heating pad will be applied for 10 minutes
      as a base treatment, and petroleum jelly will be applied to the area followed by soft tissue
      myofascial release technique for 5 minutes either crisscross, along the fiber or in Figure of
      8.
