Not Applicable

Recruiting

• Conditions: Piriformis Syndrome

• Registration Number: NCT07044869
• Lead Sponsor: Foundation University Islamabad

Brief Summary

This study is a randomized control trial, and the purpose of this study is to determine the "Effects of Facilitated Positional Release Technique ( FPRT) Vs Manual Myofascial Release Technique in Female Patients with Piriformis Syndrome.

Detailed Description

The purpose of this study is to determine the "Effects of Facilitated positional release technique vs manual myofascial release technique in female patietns with piriformis syndrome.

we make 2 groups control and treatment group . we give FPRT technique to treatment group and manual release technique to control group in patients with piriformis syndrome.

first we take base line readings of HIP ROMS( abduction, adduction, internal rotation, external rotation),NPRS and LEFS(lower extremity functional scale)..

after 2 weeks of treatment again we take same readings and compare both readings.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Lower Extremity Functional Scale	Before and after every 2 sessions for a total of 2 weeks	Lower extremity functional scale consisting of 20 questions about lower extremity function is used. The highest possible count is 80 points, indicating greatest function. The least possible count is 0 points, indicating poor function.
Piriformis Pain	Before and after every 2 sessions for a total of 2 weeks	The NPRS which has eleven points ranging from zero (0) to ten (10) is used to quantify the degree of pain before and after. A score of 0 denotes "no pain", while score of 10 denotes: maximally felt pain".
Range of Motion	Before and after every 2 sessions for a total of 2 weeks.	The ranges of hip abduction, hip adduction, hip internal and external rotations are measured using goniometer.
