Protocol summary

Study aim
The aim of this study was to examine the therapeutic aspect of the effect of the dry needling method on the symptoms of piriformis syndrome due to the specialty of this technique. Also in this study, the effect of piriformis dry needling technique on the changes in the range of motion of the lower limb joints while walking and the degree of kinematic variability of the hip, knee and ankle joints are investigated.
Design
In this study, patients with piriformis syndrome were first examined for pain and motion analysis during walking. Then, subjects will be divide into treatment and control groups. In the treatment group, patients receive three sessions of dry needling in one week, and the control group will not receive treatment.after then both groups are re-evaluated.
Settings and conduct
This study is single-blinded trial and will be carried out in the Clinic of Physiotherapy, Faculty of Rehabilitation Sciences of Iran.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria include pain in the buttocks or sciatica nerve, increased symptoms by sitting, tenderness at the the piriformis, tension-demand Maneuver increase symptoms. The patient's pain intensity between 3 to 6 and about atleast12 weeks from the onset of pain. exclusion criteria include contraindication of dry needling, pain in any lower limb joints, pregnancy, flat foot and limping .
Intervention groups
The study included two groups of control and treatment. In both groups, a preliminary assessment will be carried out. After that, the control group will not receive treatment for a week and then will assess.in control group after final assessment, physical therapy intervention will be done. the treatment group will receive dry needling technique, a three session per week on the piriformis muscle and under ultrasound and then re-evaluated.
Main outcome variables
pain; range of motion; kinematic variability; disability
