Clinical Trial Summary

Low back pain is a major disorder which occurs from chronic over use and injury to lumbar musculoskeletal system. Sometimes the source of pain is non-specific leading to pain and spasm due to muscle imbalance. Primal reflex release technique is a novel concept to decrease pain and muscle spasm by resetting reflexes using reciprocal inhibition following the concept of rebooting the Autonomic nervous system. This study aims to determine the effects of primal reflex release technique on pain, flexibility and disability in chronic nonspecific low back pain patients. This study will be a Randomized Controlled trial and will be conducted at Arif Memorial Hospital in Lahore. A sample size of Total 32 patients will be taken in this study using consecutive sampling technique. Patients will be randomly assigned into two groups. Group A will be treated by conventional therapy and Group B will be treated by conventional therapy and primal reflex release technique. Numeric Pain Rating Scale and Ronald Morris Disability Questionnaire will be used to evaluate pain and disability respectively. Flexibility of low back, Iliopsoas, hamstring, Piriformis and gastrocnemius will be measured by schober's test, modified Thomas test, Active knee extension test, FAIR test and active dorsiflexion, respectively. The evaluation will be on day 1 as pretreatment values and at 2nd and 4th week as post treatment values respectively. The collected data will be analyzed on SPSS - 25.
