Inclusion criteria

  • patients diagnosed with superior cluneal nerve entrapment syndrome

Exclusion criteria

Treatment and study plan

Exercise

Other

Lumbar muscles (especially quadratus lumborum) and thoracolumbar fascia stretching exercises and strengthening exercises for the lumbar and abdominal muscles were described by the physiotherapist. Participants were asked to perform the exercises three times a day, five days a week

Other names: stretching exercises, strengthening exercises

Myofascial Release Technique

Other

Myofascial release technique was applied by the same researcher (YY) twice a week for four weeks.

Kinesiotaping

Other

Kinesiotaping was performed by the same researcher (XX) for two sessions per week for four weeks with fascia correction technique

Primary outcomes

  1. Visual Analoque Scale

    Time frame: Before treatment, immediately after treatment, 1 month after the end of treatment

    Visual Analoque Scale is a scale consisting of a single 10 cm line and assesses the intensity of pain. Patients were asked to rate the level of pain after being informed that the beginning point on the scale represented no pain and the end point represented the most excruciating pain they had ever experienced

  2. The Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire

    Time frame: Before treatment, immediately after treatment, 1 month after the end of treatment

    The Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire is a questionnaire developed to assess functional disabilities in patients with low back pain [15]. In the questionnaire consisting of 24 sentences about functional disabilities, patients are asked to answer each sentence as yes if it fits their situation and no if it does not. Yes answers are calculated as '1' and no answers as '0' points, resulting in a total score between 0-24, with a higher score indicating more disability.

Secondary outcomes

  1. SF-36 Quality of Life Scale

    Time frame: Before treatment, immediately after treatment, 1 month after the end of treatment

    SF-36 Quality of Life Scale is a general quality of life scale frequently used in clinical research. The scale consists of 36 items, which measure 8 different dimensions: physical functions, social functions, role inhibition due to physical problems, physical pain, mental health, role inhibition due to emotional problems, life energy, general health perception. The subscales assess health on a scale of 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating good health quality.
