IRCT20190717044238N1 IRCT 2019-12-23 The University of Lahore The effects of non-surgical decompression in addition to routine physical therapy in patients with lumber radiculopathy; A Randomized Controlled Trial RCT The effects of non-surgical decompression in addition to routine physical therapy in patients with lumber radiculopathy; A Randomized Controlled Trial 2018-10-20 anticipated 60 Complete https://irct.ir/trial/40978 interventional Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Single blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Other design features: no, Randomization description: By using computer generated random number table, patients will be randomly assigned into two groups. All those random numbers will be enclosed in sealed envelopes. A third person (who will further not be the part of research) will open envelops and the patients will be allocated to the mentioned group accordingly, Blinding description: An independent assessor, who will be a senior and experienced physiotherapist and further will not be the part of study will perform the assessment of patients. N/A Lumber Radiculopathy. Intervention 1: Control group: The control group will receive conventional physiotherapy including electrotherapy and trunk stability exercises. The treatment will be performed as follows:1) Electrotherapy components will consist of 5 minutes of therapeutic ultrasound and 15 minutes of continuous transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation with concurrent hot pack 2) Trunk stability Exercises. Intervention 2: Intervention group: In addition to the interventions given in control group, participants in the experimental group will also receive spinal decompression therapy. The treatment session of 20 minutes will be given three days a week, for a total of 4 weeks. For non-surgical spinal decompression therapy of lumbar spine, the patient will be in supine lying position on a motorized table, which has movable lower half. A harness is placed around the hips and is attached to the lower table near the feet. The upper part of the table remains in a fixed position while the lower part, to which the patient is harnessed, slides back and forth to provide the traction and relaxation. Decompression isolates the distraction forces to a specific motor unit of the spine and affects a specific disc level. Yes - There is a plan to make this available What will be shared: All collected identified IPD When: Data will be available after the completion of study and will remain available till 6 months To whom: Data will be available for other people almost 6 months after the completion of study Conditions: The data/document could be used by communicating with the principle investigator "Fareeha Amjad" on email address: fari_fairy22@yahoo.com Where to obtain: Fareeha Amjad, fari_fairy22@yahoo.com How to obtain: Data/document can be accessed through communicating with principle investigator "Fareeha Amjad" on institutional email address: fari_fairy22@yahoo.com Comments: N/A

Timepoint: before intervention and after 4 weeks of intervention. Method of measurement: Visual Analogue Scale. Lumber range of motion. Timepoint: before intervention and after 4 weeks of intervention. Method of measurement: Clinical Test (Modified-Modified Schober's Test). Quality of Life. Timepoint: before intervention and after 4 weeks of intervention. Method of measurement: SF 36 scoring calculator will be used. Level of disability. Timepoint: before intervention and after 4 weeks of intervention. Method of measurement: ODI scoring calculator. Endurance. Timepoint: before intervention and after 4 weeks of intervention. Method of measurement: Stop Watch will be used to calculate the endurance time.
