What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Pain intensity
The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used to evaluate pain severity. It is a self-reported pain measurement scale, consisting of a horizontal or vertical line, usually 10 cm long. The extremes of the line are labeled as no pain and worst pain. Each subject was asked to mark the point on the line that exactly corresponded to his/her pain
Measured: after 2 weeks
lower extremity function
Lower extremity functional scale (LEFS):
LEFS is a questionnaire containing 20 items assessing the lower extremity function based on the intensity of the related activities' performance. This scoring system is designed based on the five-score Likert scale ranging from zero as the worst condition to four as without bothersome. This scale scores from zero to eighty and the higher score represent a better condition. LEFS-Arabic version will be used to quantify activity limitation in Arabic-speaking individuals with lower extremity musculoskeletal disorders
Measured: after 2 weeks
Knee range of motion
Digital goniometer:
A goniometer is a device that measures an angle or permits the rotation of an object to a definite position .To measure knee joint ROM goniometer was lined up with the lateral side of femur with the proximal arm between trochanter major and the middle of the lateral joint space of the knee and the distal arm between the middle of the lateral joint space of the knee and the lateral malleoli
Measured: after 2 weeks
Secondary outcomes (2)
pressure pain threshold
The pressure algometer was applied three times at each of the three marked points. Each application of the pressure algometer was stopped when the participant perceived a change in sensation from pressure to pain at the measurement point. Using a mechanical pressure Fischer algometer .
Pressure was increased with a speed (1kg/cm2). Steady and perpendicular to the identified trigger point, subjects were instructed to say "now" when they first began to feel change of pressure to either discomfort or pain. The mean of 3 trials over each point was calculated. It is important to place the tip of the algometer precisely on the MTrP region to avoid any major difference in readings among the consecutive measurements of the same MTrP.
Measured: after 2 weeks
knee angle
Kinovea is one of the most commonly used applications. Kinovea is a free 2D motion analysis software for computers that can be used to measure kinematic parameters.
Subjects were required to stand and relaxed lower limbs, with feet forward and shoulder-width apart. The camera was set 3 m from the subject .
The vertical axis of the camera was aligned with the midpoint between the lower limbs of the participant. The image was zoomed to the closest capture, where the stickers could be clearly visible, and always set in the same position.
Measured: after 2 weeks

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique and conventional physical therapy treatment in people with Iliotibial Band Syndrome, run by Cairo University at 1 site in Egypt.
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 13 inclusion and 18 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 May 2025. 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 Egypt. 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?
Results are not available in the source record.
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?
Pain intensity (time frame: after 2 weeks). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06980324, which also lists 38 linked publications.
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 20 May 2025.
