Brief Summary   Title: Effect Of Slider Neural Mobilization With KAATSU Training In Individuals With Unilateral Lumbar Radiculopathy - A Randomized Placebo-Controlled Trial

Aim of study: To evaluate and compare the effect of slider neural mobilization with KAATSU training in individuals with unilateral lumbar radiculopathy.

Objective of the study: To evaluate and compare the effect of slider neural mobilization with KAATSU training on lower extremity pain, functional disability, and hip flexion range of motion (ROM) in individuals with unilateral lumbar radiculopathy.

 Null Hypothesis H0: There will be no significant difference in the effect of slider neural mobilization with KAATSU training on lower extremity pain, functional disability, and hip flexion range of motion (ROM) in individuals with unilateral lumbar radiculopathy.

Alternate Hypothesis H1: There will be a significant difference in the effect of slider neural mobilization with KAATSU training on lower extremity pain, functional disability, and hip flexion range of motion (ROM) in individuals with unilateral lumbar radiculopathy.

Inclusion criteria

  Participants:

Ø  All genders within the age group of 25-60 years.

Ø  Diagnosed with subacute or chronic-stage low back pain with unilateral radiculopathy involving the sciatic nerve and its branches.

Ø  Diagnosed with disc protrusion on MRI.

Ø  Pain intensity score minimum 3-7 on the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS).

Ø  Willing to participate and who can comprehend the commands.

 Exclusion criteria:

   Participants:

Ø  Spinal or lower limb surgeries within the last year.

Ø  Inflammatory or other specific disorders of the spine, such as ankylosing spondylitis, Paget’s disease, vertebral collapse, rheumatoid arthritis, spondylolisthesis, and severe osteoporosis.

Ø  Red flags for neural mobilization, such as trauma, cancer, infection, and pregnant women, fractures of the lower limb or spine within the past six months 

Ø  Red flags for blood flow restriction training, such as skin disorders like allergic

conditions, open wounds, vascular disorders, and active infection.

Ø  Cardiopulmonary disorders like hypertension

Ø  Who cannot comprehend the commands.

Participants will be screened as per the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The purpose and procedure of the study will be explained to the participants before the commencement of the study. A written

Informed consent will be obtained from the participants, and baseline pre-assessment will be done.

For Pain, Pain score will be taken using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale, Functional disability will be evaluated

using the Modified Oswestry Disability Index, Hip flexion ROM during SLR will be recorded with a universal goniometer. Then, the patient will be enrolled in the

two weeks of the intervention program, which will be supervised. The exercise will be given 5 times

per week for a total of two weeks. The participants final assessment will be done at the end of the 2nd week.
