Summary

The objective of this randomized controlled trial was to investigate the effects of neurodynamic mobilization on pain intensity, normal joint motion, neurodynamics, functional level, and disability in patients with lumbar disc herniation.

Conditions

  • Lumbar Disc Herniation
  • Low Back Pain

Interventions

OTHER

Neurodynamic Mobilization

In the experimental group, neurodynamic mobilization was applied in addition to the conventional physiotherapy program. For the neurodynamic mobilization tibial nerve neural mobilization was performed. For neural mobilization of the tibial nerve, the patient was placed in the side-lying position with the hip in 90° flexion, knee flexion and ankle dorsi flexion. In this position, the ankle and hip positions were maintained, and knee extension was performed. When the symptoms were at a level that would not disturb the patient, it was held for 5 seconds, and knee flexion was performed by plantar flexion of the ankle. This practice was performed twice a week with 10 repetitions by a physiotherapist. The same neurodynamic mobilization exercise was recommended to the patients in the neuromobilization group as a home program with 10 repetitions twice a day.

OTHER

Conventional Physiotherapy

All participants received hot pack therapy (20 minutes), conventional TENS (60 Hz, 60 msec, 20 minutes), therapeutic ultrasound (1.5 W/cm², 10 minutes), and a prescribed home exercise program, delivered 5 days per week for 4 weeks (20 sessions in total).
