Protocol summary

Study aim
To identify the effectiveness of Shacklock’s Neural Mobilization for acute and sub-acute lumbar disc prolapsed.
Design
Randomised, superiority, parrallel group randomised control trial with double blinded
Settings and conduct
The study will conduct at Musculoskeletal Outdoor Department of Center for the Rehabilitation of the Paralysed (CRP)-Mirpur and CRP-Savar.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. Patients with acute and sub-acute LBP, diagnosed as lumbar disc prolapsed by MRI. 2. Patients with low back pain whose symptoms increase in closing movements like lumber extension or, reduce symptoms by opening movements like flexion of lumbar spine. 3. Age between 25 to 60 years. 4. Male and female both will be included. Exclusion criteria: 1. Patients with clinical disorders where physiotherapy is contraindicated. 2. Diagnosed from secondary complications such as fever, weight loss, tumors, Tuberculosis (TB) spine, fracture, dislocation, severe osteoporosis, Paget's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, cauda-equina lesions, cord signs and syndrome, transverse myelitis and all sorts of infection. 3. Pregnant women. 4. Medically unstable, mental retardation, and unwillingness to participate in the study.
Intervention groups
Intervention: Intervention group will receive usual physiotherapy intervention and Shacklock’s neural mobilization. There are several progression of Shacklock's neural Mobilisation: Progression 1: Static Opener Progression 2: Dynamic Opener Progression 3: Treatment of interface dysfunction(Closing Mobilisation) Progression 4: Treatment of Neural dysfunction (Sliding & tension) Progression 5: Treatment of Multistructural dysfunction (Closing with tensioner)
Main outcome variables
1. Pain 2. Disability status

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
This study will be a double-blinded, randomized controlled design. After initial screening, a computer-generated random number will use to allocate participants arbitrarily to the intervention group and control groups. Four Physiotherapists blinded to the allotment procedure administered the pretest and posttest assessments. Four physiotherapists will provide usual care and another four physiotherapists will provide Shacklock's neural mobilization with usual care. All the therapists who will administer treatment will not be blind but all have training in the study treatment protocol.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
The assessor and participants are blinded in this study. Investigator employed four assessor for assessment whereas, pre-test and post-test data will be assessed by different assessor and assessors do not know the group allocation.
