Comaparative Effects of Bowen Technqiue With and Withour Extracorporeal Shock Wave in Patientys With Deep Gliteal Pain Syndrome.
Sponsor: University of Management and Technology Sialkot Pakistan
Summary
A single-blinded, randomized controlled trial consisting of 46 participants with Deep Gluteal syndrome, calculated by the G power tool with an attrition rate of 5 % will be conducted. Participants will be recruited using non-probability convenience sampling based on pre-defined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Participants will be randomly assigned into two groups with 23 participants each group. Group A will receive Bowen Technique with extracorporeal shockwave therapy. Group B will receive Bowen Technique without extracorporeal shockwave therapy in conjunction with conventional therapy. Primary outcomes like pain, functional level and ROM will be measured at baseline and post-intervention using the Lower extremity functional scale (LEFS), Numeric Pain Rating scale (NPRS), and Goniometer. Data will be analyzed by IBM SPSS 26.0 with the Shapiro-Wilk test to confirm the normality.

Conditions
Interventions
Experimental : Group A = Bowen With ESWT
Bowen Technique is a gentle manual fascial technique used to reduce muscle tension, pain, and soft-tissue restriction. ESWT is a non-invasive mechanical treatment that delivers shockwaves to promote analgesia, circulation, and tissue repair. In Deep Gluteal Syndrome, both can target the painful and restricted deep gluteal tissues, so my study compares Bowen alone with Bowen combined with ESWT to determine whether the addition of ESWT provides greater clinical benefit
Control Group: Group B= Bowen Techniques only
The Bowen Technique is a gentle manual soft-tissue technique developed by Thomas Bowen. It uses slow, precise, cross-fiber rolling movements over muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia, with short rest periods between sets of movements. In your study, the therapist applies gentle pressure to the deep gluteal muscles, holds the tissue briefly, then moves across it in a controlled manner.
