简要总结
To compare the effects of levator ani release and post isometric relaxation on pain, disability and quality of life among patients with coccydynia
详细描述
Coccygodynia, also known as coccalgia, coccygeal neuralgia, or tailbone pain, is the word used to describe the pain symptoms that develop in the coccyx region. The discomfort is typically brought on while the person is sitting down, but it can also start when the person stands up. The majority of instances get well within a few weeks to months, but for certain people, the pain might last longer and have an adverse effect on quality of life. Due to the complexity of coccygeal pain in these people, management can be challenging.
The aim of the study is to compare effects of levator ani release exercises and post isometric in patients with coccydynia. A randomized control trial will be conducted at Jinnah hospital Lahore through convenience sampling technique on 46 patients which will be allocated through simple random sampling through sealed opaque enveloped into group A and group B. Group A will be treated with levator ani release exercises and Group B will be treated with post isometric relaxation techniques. Outcome measure will be conducted through pain and disability questionnaire at baseline and after 4 weeks. Data will be analyzed using SPSS software version 21. After assessing normality of data by Shapiro - wilk test, it will be decided either parametric or non-parametric test will be used within a group or between two groups.

结局指标
主要结局
Pain (NPRS)
时间窗: 4th week
The NPRS is a segmented numeric version of the visual analog scale (VAS) in which a respondent selects a whole number (0-10) that best reflects the intensity of his/her pain 11-point numeric scale ranges from '0' representing no pain to 10 representing the worst imaginable pain.
Dallas pain questionnaire (DPQ)
时间窗: 4th week
A condition-specific impairment questionnaire as well as pain and satisfaction indicators such self-assessment pain ratings are needed for the evaluation of low back pain (LBP). The 16-item Dallas Pain Questionnaire (DPQ) was created to assess patients' perceptions of the extent to which four parts of their lives are affected by chronic pain. It is simple to comprehend, can be answered in 3 to 5 minutes, and can be scored in under a minute.
Oswestry disability index (ODI)
时间窗: 4th week
The ODI comprises of ten items that examine several activities of daily life (such as lifting, walking, and travelling) and measures the limitations of a patient's performance in comparison to that of a fit individual. On a six-point scale, from 0 to 5, each item is scored. By adding together the values of each individual item, dividing that total by the range of potential scores, and multiplying that result by 100, one can approximate the overall ODI score. Higher scores imply greater levels of disability on the scale of 0 to 100%.
