Clinical Trial 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.

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.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	NPRS for pain	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).	6th week
Primary	Modified ODI for disability	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.	6th week
