Effects of Graston Technique in Patients With Non Specific Low Back Pain

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
Non-specific low back pain upsets individuals of all age gathering and is a most significant provider to illness load everywhere on the world. Overseeing rules prescribe emergency to locate the uncommon instances of low back pain that are brought about by actually genuine pathology, thus need demonstrative work-up or proficient arrangement, or both.

To determine the impacts of Graston technique in patients with non-specific low back pain. This examination was Quasi Experimental study and on the basis of inclusion standards, 20 patients were involved. PNRS and ODI used to collect the data. Graston tool was used to treat patients 3 times in a week according protocol for 6 weeks' treatment plan with extensions bised exercises protocol following pattern of APTA. The data was analyzed using SPSS 21.

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| PNRS | Pain Numeric Rating Scale (PNRS) scores in subjects with moderate/severe pain at baseline. *P < 0.0001 vs. baseline. Includes only subjects with baseline PNRS score of 4 to 10. Scale ranges from 0 to 10. Data are shown as mean ± 95% confidence interval. n = 329 for all visits, all with a baseline PNRS score of 4 to 10. | 2 months | 
| OSWESTRY DISABILITY INDEX | Each section is scored on a 0-5 scale, 5 representing the greatest disability. The index is calculated by dividing the summed score by the total possible score, which is then multiplied by 100 and expressed as a percentage. Thus, for every question not answered, the denominator is reduced by 5 | 2 months |
