简要总结
128 subjects will be selected according to the inclusion criteria from Outpatient department of Physiotherapy and Orthopedics of Mahatma Gandhi Hospital, Jaipur and written consent will be taken before participation in this study. These subjects will be allocated in two groups
Group A (n=64) Group B (n=64)
Group A will receive Myofascial Release
Group B will receive Muscle Energy Technique.
both groups participants will receive conventional physiotherapy treatment prior to treatment procedure.
6 weeks of treatment will be given and data analysis will be done to see the effectiveness of the treatment and comparison is done through appropriate statistical tool.

- •The inclusion criteria for this study involve targeting individuals between the ages of 30 to 60 who have received a diagnosis of non-specific sub-acute low back pain.
- •Specifically, participants must experience pain localized between the lower rib margin and the inferior gluteal folds, indicative of sub-acute low back pain symptoms.
- •Crucially, the duration of this pain should fall within the sub-acute phase, lasting between 3 to 6 weeks.
- •By focusing on this specific timeframe, the study aims to capture individuals who have moved beyond the acute stage of pain but have not yet progressed to sub-acute low back pain.
排除标准
- •Exclude individuals with specific medical conditions Spinal stenosis.
- •Herniated disc.
- •Recent trauma.
- •Recent surgeries.
- •Potts infection.
- •Patients taking skeletal muscle relaxants and analgesics will be excluded.
