CMCT Versus CSE in Treatment of SIJ Pain

Starting soon · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Sacroiliac Joint Pain

In brief

This study aims to investigate the difference between integrating lumbopelvic cognitive movement control training versus core stabilization exercises to the conventional physiotherapy program on pain, function, lumbopelvic stability, functional load transfer, and postural control in patients suffering from SIJ pain. The main question it aims to answer is: What are the effects of adding lumbopelvic movement control training versus core stabilization exercises to the conventional physiotherapy program in treating patients with SIJ pain? Researchers will compare adding lumbopelvic movement control training versus core stabilization exercises to the conventional physiotherapy program to investigate its effectiveness in treatment of SIJ pain Participants will: 1. receive the intervention as follows: * Group (A) - Control Group: will receive conventional physiotherapy program (US and MET) * Group (B) - Core Stability Exercises Group: will receive conventional US, MET, and core stability ex's * Group (C) - Lumbopelvic cognitive movement control training Group: will receive conventional US, MET, and cognitive movement control training. 2. receive the training protocol 3 times a week for 8 weeks according to the set schedules. 3. perform a home exercise program in the same dose of repetitions and time as in the session. 4. be assessed before and after the intervention and training period to address the outcome measures.
