ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying two different treatment techniques for people with Piriformis syndrome, which is a condition that causes pain in the buttocks and can affect your sciatic nerve. The researchers want to see which method works better: the Active Release Technique, which involves gently stretching and releasing tight muscles, or the Hold Relax Technique, which focuses on helping muscles relax through specific movements.

To participate in this study, you need to be between 25 and 55 years old and have tenderness over a specific area in your hip. However, if you have had certain injuries, cancers, or other inflammatory conditions, you may not be eligible. If you join the trial, you’ll receive one of the two treatments and help researchers understand which is more effective for relieving pain in people with this syndrome. This study is currently looking for volunteers, and both men and women can participate.
