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.

HIE staging and AKI staging done according to Sarnat and Sarnat classification and KDIGO classification respectively. Outcome in terms of recovery, persistent deranged renal function at discharge or mortality noted.Results: In our study, incidence of Acute Kidney Injury in Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy neonates was 37.7%. There was around 39-fold increase risk of developing AKI in HIE stage III versus HIE stage I. Mortality rate was found to be 51.6%. Mortality was significantly high in HIE stage III. There was around 5-fold increase risk of mortality in HIE neonates with AKI as compared to HIE neonates without AKI. 50% of the subjects who had AKI and discharged recovered of renal function before discharge and 50% recovered at 1 month follow up. In addition, there was no association found between different stages of HIE with different stages of AKI.Conclusions: It is better to screen all the birth asphyxia cases for AKI so that they can be detected early and managed accordingly.
