Summary

In this study, investigator will see the effects of neural mobilization in comparison to the muscle energy technique in the patients suffering from sciatica. Impact of the these two interventional techniques , there out come measures i.e pain, range of motion and functional disability.

Detailed description

This study is aimed in comparison among two interventional techniques i.e neural mobilization and muscle energy technique patients with sciatica. This study will be a randomized controlled trial with double blinded protocol, patients will be randomly allocated in to the two groups. one is the neural mobilization technique group and other is the muscle energy technique group. both of the groups have the conventional physical therapy in addition to these two interventions. data will be collect from the patients.30 minutes session twice a week will be given to the patients in each group. assessment will be done by using visual analog scale, Goniometer, Modified Oswestry Disability Index. Data will be entered and analyzed by using SPSS.

Conditions

• Acute Sciatica
• Pain

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Neural mobilization	Mobilization of the structures within and around the nervous system is broadly known as Neural Mobilization.
OTHER	Muscle energy technique	Manual therapy technique initially developed and used by the osteopaths is known as Muscle energy techniques(MET).This technique is effective for the pain reduction, lengthening of the shortened muscle and fascia, improvement in blood circulation and promoting lymph drainage.
