The Effectiveness of Lumber Regression Technique on Disc Bulge Randomized Control Trial

Not Applicable

Active, not recruiting

• Conditions: Disc Disease
• Interventions: Combination Product: Advanced Physiotherapy; Other: Conventional Physiotherapy Techniques

• Registration Number: NCT06548334
• Lead Sponsor: Superior University

Brief Summary

Lumbar disc bulges lead to considerable pain and disability in affected individuals, with current interventions lacking consistency of outcomes. The lumbar regression method offered a hopeful, noninvasive option.

Detailed Description

this study was proposed to evaluate its efficacy in improving accessary lower limb flexibility and reducing functional disability and pain management. To provide evidence about its effectiveness and help with clinical practice, this study aimed to improve patient outcomes in subjects having lumbar disc bulges.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Roland Morris disability questionnaire	12 Months	The Roland-Morris low back pain and disability questionnaire (RMD) was utilised to evaluate the quality of life prior to and following the completion of the treatment. This questionnaire has demonstrated strong validity and reliability. The score is measured on a scale of 0 to 24, and percentage scores were calculated for each participant. Greater scores indicate a greater level of disabilities. Its sensitivity is 95%, and its specificity is 69%.
Straight Leg Raise	12 months	The normal angle for an SLR is from 0-35 degrees, which signifies the least amount of strain. Stretched from 35-70 degrees, sciatic nerve root stretching is achieved, and possible problems such as herniated disc or radiculopathy may be evidenced. 70- 90 degrees reflect highest normal flexibility: it may be related to hip joint pathology or some other conditions which are not a result of nerve injury. During both the first evaluation and the final therapy, the SLR was assessed using a digital inclinometer (clinometer) installed on a Techno Camon 20 Android phone. The digital inclinometer has been found to exhibit high levels of reliability and validity
