简要总结
Objectives: To analyse the effects of sciatic neural mobilisation, in combination to the treatment of the surrounding structures, on pain and disability. Secondly, to investigate baseline characteristics that may be associated with improvements in pain and lumbar disability. Methods: Twenty-eight patients with a clinical diagnosis of sciatica were treated with neural mobilization, joint mobilisation and soft tissue techniques. Pain intensity and lumbar disability were assessed at baseline and after treatment using a Numerical Rating Scale (0-10) and the Oswestry Disability Index (0-100), respectively. The pre- and post-intervention data were compared.

Pain intensity
时间窗: From enrollment to end of treatment at 12 weeks
Measured by the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS 0-10)
Lumbar disability
时间窗: From enrollment to end of treatment at 12 weeks.
Assessed by the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI).It consists of 10 items addressing different aspects of disability. Each item is scored from 0 to 5, with higher values representing greater disability. The sum of the item scores is divided by the total possible score (50 if all sections are completed), and the resulting total is multiplied by 100 to be described as a percentage score.
