Effectiveness of Tensioner Versus Slider Neurodynamic Techniques in Treating Sciatica A Randomized Study Comparing Pain Relief and Function

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating two neurodynamic approaches, tensioner and slider techniques, to treat patients with sciatica. This randomized controlled trial aims to determine which method is more effective in reducing pain intensity, improving functional disability, and enhancing mobility. The study is designed to help physical therapists choose the best neurodynamic therapy for patients suffering from sciatica. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will receive slider neurodynamic mobilization combined with conventional physiotherapy, while the other group will receive tensioner neurodynamic mobilization along with conventional physiotherapy. Both treatments focus on neurodynamic mobilization techniques to address neurological issues related to sciatica. During the 8-week study period, researchers will assess pain intensity and functional disability from baseline to week 8 as primary outcomes. Secondary outcomes include measuring hip range of motion and lumbar flexion range of motion over the same timeframe. Participants will undergo evaluations related to their symptoms and physical function to monitor progress and treatment effects throughout the trial.
