About this study

The study was designed as a randomized controlled trial involving 30 participants diagnosed with sacroiliac joint dysfunction. Participants were randomly divided into two equal groups of 15 using a lottery method. Group A underwent Gong's mobilization, whereas Group B received Jones's positional release technique. In addition, both groups were provided with baseline treatment, including TENS and stretching exercises. Each intervention was carried out three times per week for a duration of six weeks.

Treatment and study plan

Gong's Mobilization

Other

A pain-free, sustained glide is applied to the sacroiliac joint by the therapist. The patient simultaneously performs active movements.

Jone's positional release

Other

The therapist identifies a tender point. The patient is positioned in a way that reduces pain significantly. This position is held for about 90 seconds and the patient is then slowly returned to a neutral position.

Primary outcomes

  1. Modified Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire

    Time frame: 6 weeks

    The Modified Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire is a gold-standard tool used to measure a patient's functional disability level resulting from low back pain.

  2. Visual Analogue Scale

    Time frame: 6 weeks

    The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) is used to measure pain intensity. The VAS typically consists of a 100 mm (10 cm) horizontal line where zero means no pain and ten indicates worst possible pain.
