ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the effects of two treatment techniques—myofascial release and the sciatic nerve slider technique—on people suffering from sciatica, which is pain that travels down the back of the leg due to problems with the sciatic nerve. The trial is specifically looking at how these treatments can help reduce pain, improve movement, and decrease disability among male cricket players aged 18 to 35 who have been diagnosed with sciatica and have experienced lower back pain for at least three months.

If you or someone you know is a male cricketer in that age group and has been dealing with sciatica, you may be eligible to participate. Participants will receive treatments to help relieve their pain and improve their physical function. It's important to note that those with certain medical histories, like systemic diseases, trauma, or previous surgeries, may not qualify for the study. This trial is significant because it aims to provide new insights into effective and cost-efficient ways to manage sciatic pain, potentially reducing the number of visits needed for treatment.
