NCT06696898N/ARecruitingUpdate OverdueUpdated 19mo ago · Completion was 16mo agoEffects of Somatosensory Motor Control With and Without Myofascial Release on Pain, Lumbar Range of Motion and Functional Disability in Patients With Sciatica
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Somatosensory Motor Control Exercises, Myofascial Release Technique, and 1 other intervention for Sciatica Pain and Sciatica. Currently recruiting, targeting 74 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary
Sciatica involves a radiating pain along the sciatic nerve, extending from the lower back through the hips and buttocks to each leg. Typically resulting from a herniated disk or spinal stenosis, this condition causes nerve compression that leads to pain, inflammation, and often numbness in the affected leg. Studies have shown that sensorimotor training with myofascial release can be effective in improving pain, lumbar range of motion and functional disability. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of Sensorimotor control training with and without myofascial releases on Pain, Lumbar range of motion and functional disability due to sciatica. Participants which meet inclusion criteria will be randomly allocated using online randomization tool into two groups. Group A will receive somatosensory control training with Routine Physical Therapy for 45 minutes with short resting interval for Group B will receive Somatosensory training with myofascial release technique for 45min. Each group will receive treatment sessions of 3 days per week for 12 weeks.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
The Somatosensory motor control training protocol assembled into three components, 1) PNF exercises (Each patient alternately contracted trunk extensors and flexors isometrically for 10 seconds against maximum resistance while seated, then contracted trunk agonists alternately in a concentric and eccentric manner against manual resistance without relaxing, then moved his or her trunk in a twisting and diagonal orientation against maximum resistance), 2) Somatosensory exercises in which a wobbling board was used and six types of exercises were performed including hallowing, one lower limb elevation, opposite upper and lower limb elevation from a four-limb supported position (quadruped), abdominal reinforcement, maintaining a bridging posture, and one lower limb elevation from the bridging posture, and 3) finally Vestibular training which involved exercises to improve gaze focus, exercises for enhancing eye movements.
Manual therapy technique that applies sustained pressure to myofascial tissues around the lumbar spine and pelvis to release tension and improve mobility.Myofascial Release Technique MFR is given with the ulnar border from proximal to distal direction with a light gentle pressure over the hamstring muscle until the slack in the skin is loosened. (2) Every strike is to be held for 30 seconds, 5 repetitions per session
