The goal of this study is to compare the effectiveness of mulligan traction Straight Leg Raise and mulligan's bent leg rise and neural mobilization to conventional therapies in order to assess which treatment is more successful in treating lumbar radiculopathy-related dysfunction.
After the synopsis is approved, Randomized Control Trial study will be performed at Riphah International University Faisalabad. The patients will be enrolled using a targeted sampling method. Patients would be chosen based on pre-established inclusion and exclusion requirements. For this analysis, a sample size estimate shows that 30 randomly selected male or females (18 yrs - 65 yrs) who match the selection criteria will be needed. A basic random sample of 30 lumbar radiculopathy patients was used in an experimental trial. They were divided into three groups of ten people: Group A received neural mobilization with conventional therapy, Group B received mulligan's bent leg rise with conventional therapy, and Group C received mulligan's traction Straight Leg Raise with conventional therapy for six months. Numeric Pain Rating Scale, passive Straight Leg Raise, Goniometer, and modified Oswestry low back pain Questionnaire will be used as outcome tests. After the sixth week, the pre-treatment and post-treatment results will be compared. Each patient will be asked to give their informed consent. Statistical Package of Social Sciences Version 20 can be used for data entry and analysis.

Mulligan's bent leg raise, as well as the extreme Straight Leg Raise, can be used to relieve Low Back Pain. It can be used to treat leg discomfort that is above the knee. Bent Leg Raise methods are used where there is a restricted range of motion in the hip flexion joint, as well as low back pressure with or without referred leg pain.
Mulligan traction leg raise exercises are a non-invasive treatment that has been shown to help people with low back pain and reduced hip flexion range. Conservative sciatica therapy focuses on pain relief, but increasing Straight Leg Raise range will help restore normal mobility and reduce the severity of low back disability.

Numeric pain rating scale
The Numerical Pain Rating Scale is a subjective measure in which individuals rate their pain on an eleven-point numerical scale. The scale is composed of 0; no pain at all to 10; worst imaginable pain.
Time frame: 12th Week
Modified Oswestry low back pain questionnaire
Modified Oswestry low back pain questionnaire is an extremely important tool that researchers and disability evaluators use to measure a patient's permanent functional disability. The test is considered the 'gold standard' of low back functional outcome tools
Time frame: 12th Week
Goniometer
Goniometer has been the most widely used tool for measuring joint range of motion. To ensure reliable measurement, standardized, specific positions and landmarks are used to measure each joint movement.
Time frame: 12th Week

These techniques are designed to mobilize a nerve with as little pressure down, resulting in a larger longitudinal excursion than techniques that actually lengthen the nerve bed, such as tensioning procedures.
