简要总结
This study is a Randomized Control Trial in which participants aged 18-50 years having diagnosed chronic mechanical low back pain will be recruited into two groups. Group A will be receiving myofascial release using stripping technique whereas, Group B will be receiving Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization using long bar tool. Afterwards, post-treatment stretching would be performed in both the groups. Final assessment of pain, range of motion and disability will be done on last treatment session.
详细描述
Low Back Pain is a major cause of disability worldwide, affecting both genders equally at some point in their lives. 95% of low back pain is mechanical in origin which is the pain originating from spine, intervertebral discs and surrounding soft tissue structures. A total of 50 participants will be divided into two groups by coin toss method, based on the eligibility criteria. Baseline assessment of pain using NPRS, range of motion using Gravity-Based Inclinometer and disability using Oswestry Disability Index will be done on 1st session for both the groups. Group A will be receiving moist heat for 10 minutes followed by myofascial release and post-treatment stretching. Whereas, on the other hand, Group B will be receiving moist heat for 10 minutes followed by Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization using Graston G6 long bar tool for 5-7 minutes with gentle horizontal stroking at an angle of 45 degrees over lumbar area followed by post-treatment stretching. Total treatment plan will be of 3 weeks, consisting of total 9 sessions, 3 sessions on alternate days. Final assessment will be done for pain, range of motion and disability on last session at 3rd week. Gentle icing would be recommended in case of itching and bruising over the treated area.

结局指标
主要结局
Lumbar range of motion
时间窗: 3 weeks
Range of motion is the ability of a joint to go through its complete spectrum of movement and it will be measured using gravity-based inclinometer.
次要结局
