Sciatic Vs Femoral Nerve Mobilization With Electrical Muscle Stimulation for Treatment of Low Back Pain
Sponsor: Shalamar Institute of Health Sciences
Summary
to determine the therapeutic effectiveness of sciatic nerve mobilization compared to femoral nerve mobilization along with electrical stimulation in promoting functional recovery and alleviating symptoms in patients with low back pain and to reveal which one is more effective for pain relief and functional improvement in low back pain patients.

Sciatic nerve mobilization with EMS
Patients in both groups will receive electrical muscle stimulation. In addition, the group A will receive sciatic neural mobilization and group B will receive femoral neural mobilization. Patients were not allowed to take medication for pain during the study or to receive any other form of treatment outside the study. EMS device was applied at a pulse frequency of 100 Hz. Placement of 2 surface electrodes will be used for stimulation over a session period of 15 minutes. The repetition of mobilization will be 10 times for 2 sets with 2 minutes rest in between the sets. The frequency of Electrical muscle stimulation and the duration of neural mobilization will be increased after every session up to 10 Hz and 3 mints respectively.
