Brief Summary

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

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.

Study Groups

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

conventional physical therapy

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Conventional Physical Therapy

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Moist heat with hydro collator pack, Maitland Mobilization for Lumbar spine, Therapeutic exercise: Core stability exercises

conventional physical therapy with slump stretching

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Neural slump mobilization

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Slump stretching will be performed with the patient in the long sitting position with the patient's feet against the wall to assure the ankle remained in 0 degree dorsiflexion. The therapist will apply over pressure to the cervical spine flexion to the point where the patient's symptoms will be reproduced. The position will be held for 30 s. A total of 5 repetitions will be completed.

Conventional Physical Therapy

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Moist heat with hydro collator pack, Maitland Mobilization for Lumbar spine, Therapeutic exercise: Core stability exercises
