Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will be conducted to determine the effects of slump stretching vs lumbar mobilization with exercises in relieving non-radiculating low back pain. There will be two groups; Group I will receive Slump stretching along with standardized exercises and Group II will receive Lumbar mobilizations along with standardized exercises.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Physical therapist commonly examines and treats patients with low back pain. For this purpose, they utilize a wide range of interventions for the management of Low back pain.

The rhythmical movement is thought to modulate pain and muscle spasm by stimulating receptors within the mobilized structures while, In recent years, neurodynamic test procedures, have also been used as interventions to potentially resolve abnormal physiology within the nervous system.

So for this purpose not only the present study can provide an additional evidence to the literature but also can can also demonstrates a structured Physiotherapy plan for treating the Non-Radiculating Low back pain

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

The two groups will be Slump stretching group and Lumbar mobilization group. All physical therapy techniques in both groups will be applied 3 times in a week up to 2 weeks with each session consisting of 25-40 minutes.

Group 1 will receive slump stretching along with standardized exercises while group 2 will recieve lumbar mobilization along with standardized exercises.

Demographic details of the patients will be collected at baseline (1st Visit) while Modified Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire,Numeric pain rating scale,Fear-Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire,Active range of motion (AROM) of lumbar spine and Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) will be measured at baseline, 1st week, and final week.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Slump stretching group

Slump stretching will be performed with the patient in the long sitting position. The position will be held for 30 seconds. A total of 5 repetitions will be completed.

Patients will also complete a standardized exercise program consisting of pelvic tilts, bridging, wall squats, and quadruped alternate arms/legs activities as described by Cleland et al.

Patients will perform 10 repetitions of each exercise.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Slump stretching

Intervention Type OTHER

Slump stretching will be provided to this group along with standardized exercises.

Lumbar mobilization group

Maitland Grade 1 - 2 Posterior to anterior lumbar spine mobilization will be applied for 30 - 45 seconds for all segments through L1 to L5 at rate of 1 oscillation per 2 seconds.

Patients will also complete a standardized exercise program consisting of pelvic tilts, bridging, wall squats, quadruped alternate arms/legs activities as described by Cleland et al.

Patients will perform 10 repetitions of each exercise.
