Brief Summary

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

To compare the effects of post facilitation stretch and active isolated stretch along with deep friction massage on pain pressure threshold of trigger points, disability, muscle length, and hip joint range of motion in wallet sciatica.

Detailed Description

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

Literature shows the effectiveness of both techniques post facilitation stretch and active isolated stretch but didn't report any comparison. In this study, investigator diagnosed the patients with wallet sciatica who came with the complaint of low back pain. Both techniques were compared to determine the effectiveness in patients with wallet sciatica having trigger points.
