简要总结
This study compares the effects of piriformis stretching and neural mobilization of the sciatic nerve in individuals with piriformis syndrome, a condition that is frequently characterized by hip and buttock pain and discomfort brought on by the piriformis muscle compressing the sciatic nerve.
详细描述
In a study involving 40 patients diagnosed with sciatica, researchers aimed to investigate whether neural mobilization of the sciatic nerve or stretching of the piriformis muscle was more effective in treating piriformis syndrome. The patients were divided into two groups, each containing 20 individuals. Group A underwent neural mobilization therapy, while Group B performed piriformis muscle stretches, with both groups receiving treatment three times a week for two weeks. Assessments, including Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain, hip range of motion (ROM) in flexion, abduction, and external rotation, as well as the FAIR test, were conducted before and after the interventions.

结局指标
主要结局
Pain Reduction
时间窗: 2 weeks
Two different interventions were applied in groups after which pain was recorded before and after through visual analogue scale. Highest score means high level of pain and lower score refers to low pain. Maximum score 9 was reported pre study and minmum score 2 was reported after study by both groups on average.
Increase Range of Motion
时间窗: 2 weeks
Through neural mobilization and piriformis stretching renage of motion was assessed through inclino meter before and after study
