简要总结
This research aimed to determine the effect of extracorporeal shock wave therapy, LASER therapy and cryotherapy on PPT, Pain and functional disability in patients having Sacroiliitis.
详细描述
The study will be based on a three-arm parallel group randomized control design. sixty participants of sacroiliitis will be recruited from the Physiotherapy department, at Najran University, K.S.A. Study objectives and procedure will be properly explained and written informed consent will be obtained at the beginning of the study. All the participants will be randomly divided into three groups 1, 2 and 3.
All the participants in first week will receive the ice pack for 15 minutes 3 times a day at the lumbosacral area to reduce inflammation in the area, along with rest to reduce irritation at the lumbosacral area for the first week.
From the 2nd week:
Group 1 will be administered ESWT plus exercise, Group 2 will be administered LASER plus exercise, and Group 3 will be administered cryotherapy and exercise.

结局指标
主要结局
Pain Pressure Threshold (PPT)
时间窗: 8 Weeks
Pain pressure threshold of muscle tenderness will be measured by using the algometer
Pain Intensity
时间窗: 8 Weeks
Pain intensity will be measured by using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS),a linear scale wherein patients indicate their pain intensity on a 10 cm line ranging from 'no pain' to 'worst imaginable pain'
次要结局
- Functional Disability(8 Weeks)
