Brief Summary

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

The study will focus on non-invasive management options for radiculopathy and functional activity in 3rd trimester women due to lateral cutaneous femoral nerve study. The findings of this study will help future clinicians to develop management plans for these patients that can include non-invasive and non-pharmacological treatment options like Ergon Technique and Stroking based on their effectiveness. The lateral femoral cutaneous nerve is formed by posterior divisions of the anterior rami of spinal nerves to enter the iliac fossa. It continues into the anterolateral thigh by passing either below or through the inguinal ligament, emerging anterior to the Sartorius muscle L2 and L3 In the thigh, it gives rise to two branches, The anterior branch supplies the skin of the anterolateral thigh to the knee and the posterior branch innervates the skin of the lateral aspect of the greater trochanter to the mid-thigh region. It can be compressed due to swelling, trauma or pressure in the surrounding areas. Common causes may include: Tight clothing, obesity or weight gain, and pregnancy. Symptoms may include anterior and lateral thigh burning, tingling, and numbness.

It will be a randomized clinical trial aimed to find the comparative effects of stroking and ergon technique on radiculopathy and functional activity in pregnant women. Women who meet the inclusion criteria that is they show positive femoral traction test, two point discrimination, light touch and pin prick maneuver will be recruited from Surya Azeem Hospital and Jinnah Hospital, Lahore. Two groups will be formed 13 patients will be allocated in each group. Before applying the techniques pre treatment reading will taken after that Hot Pack and TENS will be applied as a baseline treatment to both groups while Ergon technique will be applied to group A while stroking will be applied to the patients of group B. Two sessions per week will be given for 8 weeks. After that post treatment reading will be taken on 8th week. Data will be analyzed by using SPSS for windows version 25
