An interventional study of Myofacial Release and Facilitated positional release technique in Piriformis Syndrome, sponsored by Foundation University Islamabad. Recruiting at 1 site in Pakistan. Open to female participants aged 25 Years to 50 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-12-31.
Sponsored by Foundation University Islamabad · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
This study is a randomised control trial and the purpose of this study is to determine the "Effects of Facilitated Postional Release Technique( FPRT) Vs Manual Myofascial Release Technique in Female Patients With Piriformis Syndrome.
The purpose of this study is to determine the "Effects of Facilitated positional release technique vs manual myofascial release technique in female patietns with piriformis syndrome.
we make 2 groups control and treatment group . we give FPRT technique to treatment group and manual release technique to control group in patients with piriformis syndrome.
first we take base line readings of HIP ROMS( abduction, adduction, internal rotation, external rotation),NPRS and LEFS(lower extremity functional scale)..
after 2 weeks of treatment again we take same readings and compare both readings.
56 studies on the registry are indexed under Piriformis Muscle Syndrome; 23 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 38 is close to the median of 42 across 50 interventional studies indexed under Piriformis Muscle Syndrome.

Exclusion criteria:
On group A we will perform FACILITATED POSITIONAL RELEASE TECHNIQUE: we perform this technique on tight PIRIFORMIS muscle.
Procedure: Facilitated positional release technique
On group B we perform MANUAL MYOFASCIAL RELEASE TECHNIQUE on tight PIRIFORMIS muscle same as group A
Procedure: Myofacial Release
Manual Myofascial Release: Control group will receive 3- 5 repetitions of Manual Myofascial Release in Piriformis muscle i.e giving ischemic pressure on muscle directly for 90 secs and then release.
FPRT: Treatment group will receive 5 repetitions of FACILITATED POSITIONAL RELEASE technique i.e applying pressure over tender area of muscle while maintaining specific postion
Change in ROM
Using a Goniometer, specific Hip range of motions (hip abduction, adduction, internal rotation, ext.rotation) will be measured. This process involves positioning the patient in standarized position (i-e supine lying for hip adduction,abduction and sitting for external and internal rotation) aligning the fulcrum of goniometer along the hip axis of motion and recording the readings( in degrees, starts from zero and goes upto the maximum possible acheived range) when joint moves through range of motion.
Time frame: 2 weeks
Started Jul 2024 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Apr 2025, 8 months after the start.
Of 36 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Piriformis Muscle Syndrome, half reached primary completion within 6 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 4 and three quarters within 12. This study's planned 8 months is above that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 36 studies reached it within 6 months; a quarter within 4 and three quarters within 12.
