Rationale of this research is to evaluate the outcome of Comparison of Integrated Neuromuscular Inhibition technique versus Neuromuscular reeducation on pain in patients with Deep Gluteal Syndrome. The significance of this study is to identify which technique is superior in alleviating the symptoms of deep gluteal syndrome. This study will help gather evidence on the practice of incorporating trigger point therapy in the treatment of deep gluteal syndrome.
Deep gluteal syndrome is a common buttock and posterior hip pain caused by entrapment of the sciatic nerve in the posterior hip region. Nonoperative therapy involves treating the entrapment location, using rest, anti-inflammatories, musclerelaxants, and physical therapy to relieve compression. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effects of Integrated Neuromuscular Inhibition Technique versus Neuromuscular Reeducation Technique on pain in subject with deep gluteal syndrome. It was a randomized, controlled trial, conducted among deep gluteal syndrome patients. Sample size was 54 by using G Power Tool software. Participantswere randomly assigned to the intervention or control group after a baseline assessment with a lottery ticket and an opaque envelope. All participants in both groups were evaluated on baseline and 12 th Session.
