Comparative Effects of Myofascial Release Therapy and Endurance Training of Trunk Extensor Muscles on Pain, Disability and Muscle Endurance in Patients With Mechanical Back Pain.
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Group A will receive myofascial release therapy + conventional physical therapy and Group B will receive endurance training of the trunk extensor muscles + conventional physical therapy for Back Pain, Low. Completed, enrolled 24 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study is a randomized clinical trial to determine the effects of myofascial release therapy versus endurance training of trunk extensor muscles on pain, disability and muscle endurance in patients with mechanical back pain. A sample of 24 patients will be taken and divided into two groups each with 12 patients. Group A will receive myofascial release therapy and conventional physical therapy while group B will endurance training of trunk extensors and the conventional physical therapy protocol. The conventional physical therapy protocol will include a hot pack, back care advice, and postural modifications. The session will be around 40 to 45 min for each patient with four sessions per week. A total of four-week treatment regime will be given to the patients and assessment of the patient's pain, disability, and endurance with NPRS (numeric pain rating scale), Rolland Morris Disability Questionnaire and Sorenson Test will be done at the baseline, after the completion of treatment at pre interventional and post interventional to observe the long-term effects. The data will be analyzed using SPSS.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
myofascial release therapy (4 sessions per week). It soft, deep and non-manipulative form of treatment that involves the application of gentle pressure while stretching the body's connective tissue. A specialized form of touch, somatic sense, and specific body movement protocols are the three steps involved in the myofascial release therapy + hot pack (15min) + back care advice and postural modification. A total of 45 min session four times a week.
It will be treated with endurance training of trunk extensor muscles. Erector spinae and latissimus dorsi will be included. The exercise protocol will be in four levels Bilateral shoulder left in prone position+ contralateral arm and leg lift in prone position+ both hands behind head and bilateral shoulder lift +bilateral shoulder lift with arm fully elevated + Hot pack (10 min) + back care advice and postural modification. A total of 45 min sessions four times a week.
