简要总结
Lumber radiculopathy, also known as sciatica, is a condition that causes pain in the lower back and legs due to irritation or compression of the spinal nerves. group between 20 and 50 years old. This study will explore the effects of lumbar spine mobilization with leg movement and spinal traction with and without belt in patients with pain and functional limitations due to lumbar radiculopathy. A randomized control trial will be conducted at Atta Jaspal Hospital and Trauma Center through convenient sampling technique on 44 patients, which will be allocated through simple random sampling through sealed opaque envelopes into groups A and B. Group A will be treated with SMWLM, conventional electrotherapy, and traction without a belt, and Group B will be treated with SMWL, conventional electrotherapy, and lumbar traction with a belt. A pretreatment baseline will be set for pain, ROM, and disability at the lumbar spine by using the NPRS, inclinometer, and ODI questioner. Follow-up will be conducted after 4 weeks of post-treatment sessions. The intensity of pain, range of motion, and disability index will be evaluated using the NPRS, inclinometer, and ODI questionnaire. The data will be analyzed using SPSS software version 26. The conclusion of the study will be based on either accepting or rejecting the null and alternate hypotheses.
详细描述
Low back pain (LBP) is one of the primary causes of disability worldwide. Most people-between 50% and 80%-experience LBP at some point in their life. It limits the ability to perform daily activities, such as walking, standing, or lifting objects. It can also lead to decreased mobility, reduced work productivity, and increased healthcare costs. Radiating pain is commonly caused by lumbar intervertebral disk abnormalities, which are linked with nerve root irritation and affect 3% to 10% of people with generalized low back pain. Sciatica, another name for lumbar radiculopathy, is a disorder marked by pain, weakness, numbness, or tingling sensations that radiate down the lower back along a nerve root, frequently into the buttock, thigh, and lower leg. One or more lumbar nerve roots are usually compressed, irritated, or inflamed as a reason.

结局指标
主要结局
Numeric pain rating scale
时间窗: 4 weeks
The NPRS scale will be used to quantify pain intensity levels. The scale ranges from '0' for the least amount of pain ("no pain") to '10' for the most extreme levels of pain ("pain as severe as you can imagine")
Oswestry Disability Index
时间窗: 4 weeks
Gold standard of low back pain functional outcome tools
Inclinometer
时间窗: 4 weeks
Bubble inclinometer for measuring joint range of motion
