Effects of Soft Tissue Mobilization Technique and Piriformis Muscle Stretching Among Patients Having Piriformis Syndrome

Overview

It is a randomized control trail in which soft tissue mobilization and piriformis stretching will be compared and study duration will be of five months

Piriformis syndrome is one of the misdiagnosed syndromes and there is no evidence available for the proper diagnosis of this syndrome. Several interventions have been adopted in the clinical setting for improvement of piriformis syndrome including therapeutic ultrasound, myofascial release, stretching, dry needling, strengthening exercises of hip muscles and activity modification. There are several treatments available for this syndrome but no comparison studies have been reported yet on soft tissue mobilization and piriformis muscle stretching. The purpose for conducting this research is to assist in establishing the effectiveness of soft tissue mobilization technique and piriformis muscle stretching in piriformis syndrome by comparison between two abovementioned treatments
