Riphah International University44 enrolled

Overview

compare the effectiveness of SI joint thrust manipulation and pelvic stabilization exercises on Modified OSWESTRY Low Back pain Index (ODI) and Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) in patients with post-partum lower back pain.

Patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria will be divided into 2 groups i.e. Group A and Group B. Patients in Group A will receive thrust manipulation technique and Group B will receive pelvic stabilization exercises, heating pad will be given to both groups. Patients will be treated 3 times per week for 4 consecutive weeks. Patient will be evaluated at baseline, midline and at end of 4th week. Pain, functional status and disability will be evaluated after every 3 sessions.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Numeric pain rating scale (NPRS)

The Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) measures the subjective intensity of pain. The NPRS is an eleven-point scale: the patient rates pain from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst imaginable pain).

Time frame: 4th week

Modified Oswestry Disability Index (ODI)

The ODI is a disease specific disability measure is used to establish a level of disability stage on a patient activity status and monitor change over the time. The ODI is made up of 10 questions. Each question is scored from (o-5) minimum to maximum.

Time frame: 4th week
