Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of low level laser therapy with and without proprioceptive stimulation on somatosensation, pain and gait parameters in patients with discogenic lumbar radiculopathy. The randomized central trial will recruit patients according to convenience sampling into two intervention groups randomly. One group will receive low level laser therapy and proprioceptive stimulation and other group will receive low level laser therapy alone. Heating packs will be given to both groups.

Conditions

  • Lumbar Radiculopathy

Interventions

OTHER

Low level laser therapy with proprioceptive stimulation

10 minutes of low level laser therapy and 10-15 minutes of proprioceptive stimulation and 10 minutes of heating pack. Assessment and data collection will be done at baseline (initial), after 4 weeks of treatment protocol and patients will be followed up for the further 2 weeks to notice and report any change in condition and health status.

OTHER

Low level laser therapy without proprioceptive stimulation

10 minutes of low level laser therapy and 10 minutes of heating pack. Assessment and data collection will be done at baseline (initial), after 4 weeks of treatment protocol and patients will be followed up for the further 2 weeks to notice and report any change in condition and health status.
