Overview
Brief Summary
to investigate the effect of High Tone Power Therapy on Pain, Range of Motion and Quality of Life in Lumbosacral Radiculopathy Patients
Detailed Description
BACKGROUND: Lumbosacral radiculopathy is a disorder that causes pain in the lower back and hip, as radicular pain is commonly caused by the compression of lumbar spinal nerve roots. High-tone therapy represents a novel form of electrotherapy distinguished from traditional methods by its dynamic modulation of frequency and amplitude. This innovative approach delivers increased energy levels to tissues. Therefore, there has been significant interest in utilizing high-tone therapy for treating various disorders HYPOTHESES: It will be hypothesized that there will be no statically Effect of High Tone Power Therapy on Pain, Range of Motion and Quality of Life in Lumbosacral Radiculopathy Patients RESEARCH QUESTION: Is there an Effect of High Tone Power Therapy on Pain, Range of Motion and Quality of Life in Lumbosacral Radiculopathy Patients

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Short Form Health Survey (SF-36)
Time Frame: four weeks
The the SF-36, is a 36-item questionnaire developed by the RAND Corporation to measure health-related quality of life across eight domains: physical functioning, bodily pain, role limitations (due to physical or emotional problems), social functioning, emotional well-being, vitality (energy/fatigue), and general health. It also includes an additional item to assess self-perceived health changes over time. A score range from 0 to 100. high scores indicate more quality of life
Pain Pressure Threshold Algometer
Time Frame: four weeks
An algometer is a device used with pressure algometry to measure the pain pressure threshold (PPT), which is the point at which a steadily increasing, non-painful pressure stimulus is perceived as painful.
Back range of motion (BROM) goniometer device
Time Frame: four weeks
is a specialized instrument, often using inclinometers and magnets, that provides accurate and repeatable measurements of spinal movements such as flexion, extension, rotation, and lateral side bend
The RAND 36-Item Health Survey (Version 1.0) (SF-36) questionnaires,
Time Frame: four weeks
The RAND 36-Item Health Survey, also known as the SF-36, is a 36-item questionnaire developed by the RAND Corporation to measure health-related quality of life across eight domains: physical functioning, bodily pain, role limitations (due to physical or emotional problems), social functioning, emotional well-being, vitality (energy/fatigue), and general health. It also includes an additional item to assess self-perceived health changes over time.
Secondary Outcomes
- Visual analogue scale for pain (VAS-P)(four weeks)
