Brief Summary

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

This study is a randomised controlled trial and the purpose of this study is to determine the effect of intra muscular electrotherapy combined with manipulative therapy in terms of pain, mobility, range of motion, and disability."

Detailed Description

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

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of intra muscular electrotherapy combined with manipulative therapy in terms of pain, mobility, range of motion, and disability in patients with sacral torsion." (age : 22-44 years )
