Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of Local Muscle Vibration versus Muscle energy technique on pain intensity, pain pressure threshold, functional disability, and innominate angle tilt in SIJD.

This study will try to answer the following question:

What is the effect of Local Muscle Vibration compared to Muscle energy technique on pain intensity, pain pressure threshold, functional disability, and innominate angle tilt in SIJD?

Description:

Clinicians will attempt to identify the primary factors that contribute to the development of low back pain. These factors are related to specific areas of malfunction that may irritate the tissues and create pain, or cause pain through hypersensitivity of nociceptive pathways in the CNS. Joint dysfunction is one risk factor, which is defined as "loss of joint play movement that cannot be produced by voluntary muscles". Pain in the joint can result from joint dysfunction, in addition to joint dysfunction, muscle dysfunction is evaluated. History, inspection, palpation, and flexibility tests can all be used to determine this.

Muscle energy technique is based on the concepts of Autogenic Inhibition and Reciprocal Inhibition, to lengthen a shortened muscle, mobilize a stiff joint, strengthen a weak muscle, and reduce localized edema and passive congestion. Several studies approved that (MET) affects positively on SIJD cases.

Local Muscle Vibration is used to pain relief, stimulate edema absorption, improve blood flow, alleviate wound healing, and for its anti-inflammatory and ant-adhesion effects. In addition, pain relief effect have also been widely demonstrated. Vibration comprised of low-magnitude high-intensity stimuli which represents a suitable technique to securely transmit appropriate mechanical signals to patients who are unable to exercise to increase musculoskeletal strength. According to a narrative literature review contain about 35 study descuss effects of local vibration therapy on various performance parameters, LMV have apositive effect on muscle activation, strengh, power and joint range of motion.

According to Iodice et al (2011), local administration of high-frequency VT resulted in significant increase in muscle function after several weeks however, some hormonal alterations and moderate performance gains were observed after a single session. This study will try to investigate the effect of Local Muscle Vibration versus Muscle energy technique, which is more effective in reducing low back pain and disability in cases of SIJD. Up to the authors knowledge no previous study discussed the difference between (LMV) and (MET) on SIJD.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Pain intensity	VAS in the simple model, which will be used as a self-reported method of pain intensity measurement, the patient will be asked to put a mark point at the scale range (from 0 to 10 cm). This assessment procedure will be applied before and after treatment procedure.	Assessment before treatment, then immediately after the intervention, then finally follow up after 2 weeks
Primary	Pain pressure threshold	PPT should be measured on both sides at the level of right and left posterior inferior iliac spines (PIIS). With the patient is a prone position, two algometer measurements will be taken before and after treatment at the level of (PIIS). All measurements will be recorded at intervals of 30 second. The patient will be instructed to report when the sensation beginning of pain.	Assessment before treatment, then immediately after the intervention, then finally follow up after 2 weeks
Primary	Back functional disability	This questionnaire is Self-reported pain and disability method (Arabic model). The therapist will ask the patient ten questions covering pain severity, personal care, lifting, walking, sitting, standing, sleeping, social life, travelling, and changing degrees of pain. Each part has six statements, each with a score ranging from 0 (showing no disability) to 5 (representing maximum disability). The final score was calculated as a percentage out of 50, representing perceived disability at the time. The validated Arabic version of ODI will be used in this study.	Assessment before treatment, then immediately after the intervention, then finally follow up after 2 weeks
Primary	The innominate angle tilt	The patient will be instructed to march 10 steps in place before standing in a fully erect posture without bending ankles, knees, or hips, feet in front 30.5 cm apart, and arms across the chest. The therapist will stand beside the patient and mark the anterior and posterior superior iliac spines (ASIS and PSIS).	Assessment before treatment, then immediately after the intervention, then finally follow up after 2 weeks
