Effect of Dry Needling on Patients with Lumbar Radiculopathy in Reducing Pain and Increasing Range of Motion Compared to Interferential Therapy.

Background: The most prevalent disorder affecting the spinal cord is lumbar radiculopathy. The incidence of this condition is estimated between 3% and 5% of the population and it impacts both male and female equally. The goal of this present study is to compare the effectiveness of dry needling to i...

      ab: Background: The most prevalent disorder affecting the spinal cord is lumbar radiculopathy. The incidence of this condition is estimated between 3% and 5% of the population and it impacts both male and female equally. The goal of this present study is to compare the effectiveness of dry needling to interferential therapy [IFT] in terms of reducing pain and increasing the lumbar range of motion in patients with lumbar radiculopathy. Purpose: To determine the effect of dry needling on patients with lumbar radiculopathy in reducing pain and increasing lumbar ROM compared to interferential therapy. Materials and Methods: 30 subjects participated and pre assessment and post assessment was taken using Numerical Pain Rating Scale [NPRS] and the Modified-Modified Schober Test [MMST]. For both groups, the intervention period lasted for 2 weeks and the entire study procedure was carried out from November 2022 to April 2023. Result: This study showed an extremely satisfied statistical significance difference between post-test values of both groups (p<0.0001). However, the experimental group showed substantially greater statistical significance than the control group in terms of the decrease in pain levels and the increase in lumber ROM. Conclusion: The study concluded that intervention provided to the experimental group was more effective than intervention provided to the control group.
