Effectiveness of Dynamic cupping and IASTM on Pain, Range of Motion, Disability, Function in piriformis syndrome: Three arm parallel study.

Piriformis syndrome is a type of sciatica caused by compression of the nerve by the piriformis muscle. This triangular, flattened muscle extends between the sacrum and the greater trochanter, starting from the pelvic surface of the sacral bone. It runs laterally through the greater sciatic foramen and ends with a tendon on the medial side of the greater trochanter of the femur. It is one of the six short muscles of the external rotators group. Piriformis Syndrome is more common in women than men, possibly because of biomechanics associated with the wider quadriceps femoris muscle angle (i.e., “Q angle”) in the os coxae (pelvis) of women. Barr’s work correlating clinical features with operative and histological findings, the dominant opinion for decades on the cause of sciatica was nerve root compression by a herniated intervertebral disc. An alternative cause, compression of the nerve trunk by the piriformis muscle, was proposed by Freiberg and Vinke and developed by Robinson, who is credited with coining the term Piriformis Syndrome. Aim is To find the effectiveness of Dynamic cupping and IASTM on Pain, Range of Motion,   Disability, Function in piriformis syndrome. pre assessment will be taken with the consent form from group A, B, C ie. Dynamic cupping IASTM and conventional Physiotherapy for 75 participant in three groups for 3 weeks after the treatment post assessment will be taken from VAS, LEFS.
