简要总结
Disc prolapse causes impairment of function by nerve root compression compelling the patient to seek medical advice for low backache. Traction is one of the physical modalities frequently used for the treatment of lumbar disc herniations. So the purpose of the study is to determine the effect of one-fifth, one-half, and one-third of body weight traction on the straight leg raise test and pain.
详细描述
A total of 45 patients suffering from lumbar PIVD and having neurological symptoms will be selected for the study. Lumbar PIVD will be confirmed from MRI. Participants will be divided into three groups with 15 participants in each group. group A. for one-fifth of body weight traction, group b for one-third of body weight traction, and group C for one-half of body weight traction. SLR and pain will be measured before traction and after traction. A goniometer will be used to measure SLR and VAS will be used to measure pain.

结局指标
主要结局
Straight Leg Raise test
时间窗: upto 1 month
Straight leg raise test is used in supine position to test neurological signs
Visual analog scale
时间窗: upto 1 month
Visual analog scale is used to measure pain. This scale has 0 to 10 points, 0 being no pain and 10 means maximum pain someone has felt. Higher the score worse is the condition.
