About this study

Official title: Effects Of Muscle Energy Technique Versus Mobilization On Pain And Disability In Post-Partum Females With Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction.

The aim is to describe the severity of pain in postpartum female and management of sacroiliac joint pain and disability and define the effects of manual therapy on sacroiliac joint dysfunction and pain

Read the detailed description

The aim is to describe the severity of pain in postpartum female and management of sacroiliac joint pain and disability and define the effects of manual therapy on sacroiliac joint dysfunction and pain in postpartum females and to check whether the amount of gaining range of movement is similar among postpartum female undergoing with mobilization therapy and with muscle energy technique.

Being tested
mobilization technique, muscle energy technique
Keywords

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • mobilization techniqueOther

    Mobilization of sacroiliac joint which will increase the range of motion and reduction in pain and improvement in functional limitation.

  • muscle energy techniqueOther

    Muscle energy technique it is known as active muscular relaxation technique. It helps in lengthening the shorten muscle and increasing range of restricted muscles

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Numeric pain rating scale

    • The 11-point (numeric pain rating scale) NPRS will use to capture the patient's level of pain. The scale is anchored on the left with the phrase ''no pain'' and on the right with the phrase ''worst imaginable pain.'' Patients rate their current level of pain and their worst and least amount of pain in the last 24 hours. The average of the 3 ratings or any single rating may be used to represent the patient's level of pain. Numeric pain scales have been shown to be reliable and valid. The reliability of numeric pain rating scale is 0.74

    Measured: 4th week

  2. Modified Oswestry disability index

    It is a self-report questionnaire of a patient's perceived disability based on 10 areas of pain and daily activities (pain intensity, personal hygiene, lifting, walking, sitting, standing, sleeping, sexual activity, social activity and travelling). Each section is scored on a6-point scale (0-5), with 0 representing no limitation and 5 representing maximal limitation. The subscales combined add up to a total maximal score of 50. The score is then doubled and interpreted as a percentage of the patient-perceived disability (the higher the score, the greater the disability). In cases where patients did not answer all the 10 sections, the sum score of the answered sections were divided by the number of completed sections. The reliability of modified oswestry disability index is 0.88.

    Measured: 4th week

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing mobilization technique and muscle energy technique in people with Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction, run by Riphah International University at 1 site in Pakistan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Sep 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Pakistan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Numeric pain rating scale (time frame: 4th week). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Sep 2021.
