Clinical trial NCT05502419: Effects of Neural Slump Mobilization in Addition to Conventional Physical Therapy in Low Back Pain
Official title: Effects of Neural Slump Mobilization in Addition to Conventional Physical Therapy in Low Back Pain
Study type: INTERVENTIONAL
Overall status: UNKNOWN
Phase: NA
Conditions: Low Back Pain
Lead sponsor: Foundation University Islamabad
Sponsor class: OTHER
First posted: 2022-08-16
Enrollment: 42
Sex: ALL
Minimum age (years): 18
Maximum age (years): 44
Standard ages: ADULT
Accepts healthy volunteers: no
Allocation: RANDOMIZED
Intervention model: PARALLEL
Intervention model description: This study is a randomized controlled trial which will consist of two groups. Once will recieve conventional physcial therapy and the sencond will recieve conventional physcial therapy and slump stretching.Both groups will be recruited concurrently.
Primary purpose: TREATMENT

Brief summary: Low back pain is amongst the most prevalent musculoskeletal conditions worldwide.This condition has a significant impact on the person's quality of life by effecting their various activities of daily living. As of 2017 it remains the leading cause of years lived with disability.Various management strategies are used for the treatment of low back pain. In the recent years neurodynamic techniques are being used for the treatment of low back pain. Escpecially, patients of low back pain who have neural mechanosensitivity may benefit from neural mobilization techniques. Slump stretching is a neurodynamic technqiue which is used to improve the mobility of dural tissue.Different studies have shown postive results of slump stretching in patients of low back pain. However no such study has investigated the role of slump stretching in improving range of motiion in low back pain patients.So this study aims to investigate the the effect of slump stretching in low back pain patients specially on low back Low back pain is amongst the most prevalent musculoskeletal conditions worldwide.This condition has a significant impact on the person's quality of life by effecting their various activities of daily living.
