Chronic Low-back Pain
Conditions
Brief summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the effect of mulligan straight leg raise versus slump stretching on pain, disability and hip range of motion in patient with low back pain. . Convenient sampling technique will be used to enroll the patients. Patients will be inquire into basis of pre formulated eligibility criteria. Written Consent will be taken from each patient before starting interventional sessions. Sample size of this study will consist on the participants who will qualify for both inclusion an exclusion criteria. Both groups will receive ultrasonic therapy and hot pack therapy as baseline treatment. Group A will receive mulligan straight leg raise and group B will receive slump stretching. The assessment of patients will be done at baseline, 4th and 8th week. The outcomes from patients will be calculated by using Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Goniometer and ODI. The comparison between pre-treatment and post-treatment data will be done after 8th week. Data will be analyzed through SPSS 25.

| Range of motion at hip joint | 8 weeks | Range of motion will be assessed by using Goniometer |
| Owestry Disability Index | 8 weeks | Disability will be assessed by using Owestry Disability Index, The Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) is a standard questionnaire used to measure functional disability from low back pain. Covers pain intensity, personal care, lifting, walking, sitting, standing, sleeping, sex life, social life, and travelling.
