Brief summary
The aim of this study is to compare the effects of core stabilization exercises with and without dry cupping on pain and disability in patients with sacroiliac joint dysfunction.
Detailed description
Low back pain (LBP) is recognized by its most common symptom - pain - and is known as the primary cause of disability one of the most frequent pain-producing factors in patients with LBP is sacroiliac joint dysfunctions (SJD). The sacroiliac joint dysfunction syndrome (SIJDS) is a contentious topic that is a common cause of low back pain (LBP) and patients often seek physical therapy helps to deal with their symptoms. Dry cupping on the SIJ is a physical therapy technique that has been supported by research in numerous areas, including pain reduction and SIJ mobility promotion. But, in previous studies, there is very less literature regarding determining effects of the dry cupping on sacroiliac joint dysfunction. Therefore there is a dire need to explore the effect of dry cupping on sacroiliac joint dysfunction. This study aims the management of pain disability and functional impairment in persons with sacroiliac joint dysfunction particularly core stabilization exercises along with dry cupping therapy.
Interventions
OTHERDry cupping with core stabilization exercises
12 patients will receive dry cupping technique for 10 minutes followed by 10 repetitions of each core stabilization exercise in different positions. All the patients will receive this treatment once a week for 6 weeks.
OTHERCore stabilization exercises
A total of 12 patients will perform 10 repetitions of each core stabilization exercise in different positions. All the patients will receive this treatment once a week for 6 weeks.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| NPRS for pain | 6th week | The Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) is a subjective measure in which individuals rate their pain on an eleven-point numerical scale. The scale is composed of 0 (no pain at all) to 10 (worst imaginable pain). |
| Modified ODI for disability | 6th week | It is a disease-specific disability measure and is used to find the level of disability with the help of questions asking about difficulty in performing activities of daily life in 10 different sections. |
