Background: Lumbar radicular pain is one of the leading causes of musculoskeletal disability. Variety of conventional treatment options are available. Aim: To find the effectiveness of sciatic nerve mobilization on disability and range of straight leg raise in patients with lumbar radicular pain. Study Design: Randomized control trail. Methodology: In this single blinded randomized control trial eighty patients were randomly divided in two groups. The experimental group received sciatic nerve mobilization along with routine physical therapy treatment whereas control group only received routine treatment in form of moist hot pack and back exercises. Outcomes were pain, disability and straight leg raise range measured through numeric pain rating scale, Modified Oswestry disability index MODI and inclinometer. The outcomes were assessed at baseline and at 4th and at 6th weeks of the treatment. Data was analyzed by SPSS software, version 20 as qualitative variables were expressed as mean ± SD. Paired sample t-test was applied. Results: Between groups analysis showed a significant difference in mean in both groups. Within group analysis was done using paired sample t test showed significant improvement (p <0.05) occurred in all variables in terms of pain, disability and straight leg raise range but sciatic nerve group had better improvement in terms of pain and disability as compared to conventional group. Conclusion: We concluded that sciatic nerve mobilization was an effective treatment for pain and disability in patients with lumbar radicular pain. Keywords: Lumbar Radicular Pain, Lumbar Radiculopathy, Sciatic Nerve Mobilization and Sciatic Nerve Neurodynamics.

The condition known as Bell's palsy results in the weakness of fascial muscles causing it to sag and stiffen on that side. It results from damage to the 7 cranial nerve. objective: To identify the comparative effects between the PNF and neuromuscular re-education. Methods: It was randomized clinical trial with non-probability purposive sampling. Data were collected from Aziz Fatima, DHQ, Allied and MTH hospital of Faisalabad. The study consisted of 30 patients (males and females), 15 participants were randomly divided in each group by lottery method. Group A treated by proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation with conventional physical therapy that include EMS and home plan exercises. Group B treated by neuromuscular re-education facilitation techniques with conventional physical therapy treatment. Total treatment was of 4 days per week for 4 weeks. Data were analyzed by SPSS version 21.0. Results: The findings indicated that Group A had a considerably greater value on the Facial Disability Index (FDI). Group A differed significantly from Group B in each single element (physical and social functioning), while Group B showed very moderate recovery on FDI. Conclusions: After completing four weeks of treatment, PNF demonstrated considerable reduction in facial dysfunction in conjunction with conventional PT treatment. In the case of facial paralysis, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation combined with conventional treatment is more efficient than neuromuscular re-education combined with conventional PT.
