- Chronic pain (greater than 3 months) buttock pain.
- Patients with piriformis tightness less than 40 degrees.
- Patients with active trigger points of the piriformis.

Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Pain pressure threshold
Changes from baseline, Pain pressure threshold was measured through Algometer.
Disability
Changes from baseline, Disability was measured through lower extremity functional scale. It consists of 20 questions. Minimum score is 0 and Maximum 80. minimum score shows greater disability and maximum indicate decreased disability.
Piriformis Muscle Length
Changes from baseline, Piriformis Muscle Length was measured through Goniometer by performing stretch test. Less than 40 degree internal rotation at hip indicates piriformis tightness.
Hip joint range of motion
Changes from baseline, Hip joint range of motion was measured through Goniometer.

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
To compare the effects of post facilitation stretch and active isolated stretch along with deep friction massage on pain pressure threshold of trigger points, disability, muscle length, and hip joint range of motion in wallet sciatica.
Detailed Description
Literature shows the effectiveness of both techniques post facilitation stretch and active isolated stretch but didn't report any comparison. In this study, investigator diagnosed the patients with wallet sciatica who came with the complaint of low back pain. Both techniques were compared to determine the effectiveness in patients with wallet sciatica having trigger points.
