Brief Summary
This study will compare the effect of dry needling and manual pressure in patients having low back pain in terms of pain and disability. There will be two groups ; experimental and control. Half of study group will receive dry needling session along with hot pack. Half of study group will receive manual pressure technique along with hot pack.
Detailed Description
The study is Randomized Control Trail , which is being conducted in fauji foundation hospital and Foundation University College Of Rehabilitation (oct 2022-feb 2023) . Sample size of 50 individual was calculated using epitool with 95% confidence interval (CI), and power 80%. sample will be collected through pilot study .
