Effects of KinesioTaping Versus Dry Needling in the Treatment of Sacroiliac Joint Pain Among Females.
- Conditions
- Sacroiliac Joint Pain
- Registration Number
- NCT06755125
- Lead Sponsor
- Sehat Medical Complex
- Brief Summary
The goal of this Randomized controlled trial is to learn the effects of kinesio taping and dry neeedling on Sacroiliac joint pain due to tightness of piriformis among females of 20-50 years.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Null Hypothesis (H0):
A significant difference does not exist in the effectiveness of kinesio taping and dry needling on SIJ pain caused by piriformis muscle tightness
Alternate Hypothesis (H1):
A significant difference exists in the effectiveness of kinesio taping and dry needling on SIJ pain caused by piriformis muscle tightness
All study participants provided both written and spoken consent. This research will be prospective and randomized. The investigation will be conducted on individuals between the ages of 20 and 50 during follow-up visits. According to inclusion and exclusion criteria, total of 45 participants will be selected. Subjects intending to participate will be randomly assigned to two groups.
Group A will receive hotpack, TENS and piriformis simple stretching and isometrics along with use of kinesio taping and Group B will receive hotpack, TENS, simple stretching and isometrics along with use of dry needling. Piriformis tightness will be diagnosed by the use of Piriformis test, and hip internal rotation and adduction, whereas sacroiliac joint pain will be detected by Posterior pain provocation test, Gaenslen's test, and Patrick test. In the beginning of treatment, all the participants will go through a pretest measurement with Numeric Pain Rating Scale, Goniometer, Functional Gait Assessment and Owestry Disability Index.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS): 2 Weeks The NPRS will be used to quantify pain intensity through an 11-point numeric continuum. Individuals are prompted to assess their pain levels within a range from 0 (indicating an absence of pain) to 10 (representing the most extreme imaginable pain)
Goniometer: 2 weeks The UG which has a transparent plastic 360° face, two movable arms, and a 1° gradation will be used.
Functional Gait Assessment (FGA) 2 weeks The instrument consists of 10-items: gait level surface, changes in gait speed, gait with horizontal head turns, gait with vertical head turns, gait and pivot turn, step over obstacles, gait with narrow base of support, gait with eyes closed, ambulating backwards, and steps. Each item was demonstrated to the participants by one of the raters to facilitate understanding and will graded on a four-point ordinal scale ranging from 0 (severe impairment), 1 (moderate impairment), 2 (mild impairment), to 3 (normal), with a maximum score of 30 points. The higher the score, the better the participant's postural stability during gait.
Oswestry Disability Index (ODI): 2 weeks The ODI is a questionnaire containing 10 items covering disability caused by low back pain. Each item was assessed on a six-level ordinal scale with '0' describing 'no limitation' and '5' describing 'extreme limitation or an inability to function'. The total score is a percentage calculated by the sum of all answers divided by 50 (the maximum possible number of points) and multiplied by 100 as follows: 'Total score = (∑item scores/50) x 100'.
