Effect of Shockwave Versus LLL Therapy on Sacroiliac Joint Pain in Postnatal Women

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
Sacroiliac joint pain is the most causes of back pain In pregnancy caused ligament laxity in sacroiliac joint so cause pain and this pain continue after natal Shock wave is new conservative treatment used in physical therapy Shock wave is most effective for sacroiliac joint pain Low level laser is a most effective pain relive and effective on sacroiliac joint pain

Detailed Description
-----------------
The study is to determine if there is any difference between the effect of shockwave and low level laser therapy on sacroiliac joint pain in postnatal women This study will be randomly distributed into two equal group Group A consisted of 25 postpartum women complaining from sacroiliac joint pain . They will receive shockwave therapy 2 session per week for 6 weeks Group B consisted of 25 postpartum women complaining from sacroiliac joint pain . They will receive low level laser therapy 2 session per week for 6 weeks Evaluation procedures History taking recording in recording data sheet Weight and height measurement by calculate BMI Disability assessment by OWDI Pain assessment by VAS scale Assessment of pressure of pain threshold by pressure algometry

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

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Sacroiliac joint pain | •Pain intensity: it will by measure by VAS it's presented as 10 cm horizontal line on which the patient pain intensity is point between no pain at zero score to extreme pain at 10 score . | About two months | 
| Functional disability | •Functional disability :it will be measure by oswestry disability index it is 10 point Patient reported outcome questionnaire which the higher score mean its the worst and the low score mean its the better outcome. | About 2 month | 
| Pain pressure threshold | •Pain pressure threshold : it will be measure by a device Called pressure algometry | About 2 month |
