Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Dry Needling   One session of dry needling will be performed with disposable stainless steel needles. Areas will be cleaned with alcohol. 0.25 mm needles will be used. Needles will be inserted at an angle of 45 degree along the myofascial length and the Gerdy’s tubercle which is the site of pain in IT band syndrome. Needles will be placed for a duration of 10 minutes and later disposed.  
Intervention  Myofascial Release   A vibrating foam roller will be used. Lie on the affected side and cross and place the upper thigh in front of the affected leg. Keep your affected leg straight and press the sole of your non-affected foot into the floor for support. Place both hands on the floor for stability, or prop yourself up on your right side. Foam roll down to your knee before rolling back up to your hip. Foam rolling will be done for one minute and one minute break will be given and will be repeated 5 times hence the total treatment time including rest and foam rolling is 10 minutes

Brief Summary   Comparison of dry needling and myofascial release in iliotibial band syndrome in runners.
 
INTRODUCTION:

Iliotibial band syndrome is one of the most common injuries in runners. It is a type of repetitive strain injury. A Recreational is defined as a person who had been running 1 to 3 weekly sessions for at least 6 months. Running related injuries can sometimes result in permanent dropouts if not treated efficiently. Dry needling for trigger points is an invasive method that involves inserting a tiny needle into the skin and muscle. Foam rolling has become one of the most commonly utilised instruments for the treatment of Myofascial pain as well as the repair of muscle tissue following injury caused by sports and exercise activities in recent years. Foam rolling has been proven to help with range of motion, muscular stiffness, late onset discomfort, and pressure pain threshold. Thus this study aims to compare the effects of dry needling and foam rolling on IT band syndrome and if one technique is more beneficial than another.

AIM:

To study the comparative effects of dry needling and vibrating foam roller on IT band syndrome in runners

OBJECTIVES: 

To study the effects of Dry needling on IT band syndrome.

To study the effects of vibrating foam roller on IT band syndrome.

To compare the effects of Dry needling and vibrating foam roller on IT band syndrome

PROCEDURE:

Ethical committee approval will be taken. The patients with Iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS) will be assessed for the same using Noble compression test. Patients with
ITBS who meet the criteria of the study will be informed about the study and added to the study as voluntary enrolment. Informed written consent will be taken from each
participant prior to the study. After asking for their consent their history, pre-intervention evaluation would be noted.

OUTCOME MEASURES:

Pain pressure algometer.
Ober’s test.
Single leg mini squat test.
