This study aims to compare the effects of Dry Dynamic Cupping and Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) in patients with chronic myofascial low back pain. The interventions will be evaluated for their effectiveness in reducing pain, improving functional disability, and enhancing quality of life. The findings may help identify a more effective treatment approach for managing chronic myofascial low back pain.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dry dynamic cupping group | Active Comparator | Participants in this group will receive Dry Dynamic Cupping therapy. The intervention will be administered for 2 weeks, with 3 treatment sessions per week, according to the standardized study protocol. The effects of the intervention will be evaluated on pain intensity, functional disability, and lumbar range of motion. |
|
| IASTM Group | Placebo Comparator | Participants in this group will receive Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM). The intervention will be administered for 2 weeks, with 3 treatment sessions per week, according to the standardized study protocol. The effects of the intervention will be evaluated on pain intensity, functional disability, and lumbar range of motion. |

| Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) | Other | Participants in this group will receive Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM). The intervention will be administered for 2 weeks, with 3 treatment sessions per week, according to the standardized study protocol. The effects of the intervention will be evaluated on pain intensity, functional disability, and lumbar range of motion. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| NPRS | Pain intensity will be assessed using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), an 11-point scale ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst imaginable pain). Changes in pain scores will be compared between the Dry Dynamic Cupping and IASTM groups. | Baseline and 2 Weeks Post-Intervention |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| ODI | Functional disability related to low back pain will be assessed using the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). Changes in disability scores will be compared between groups. | Baseline and 2 Weeks Post-Intervention |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Inclinometer | Lumbar range of motion (ROM) will be measured using an inclinometer. Flexion, extension, right and left side flexion, and right and left rotation will be assessed to evaluate changes in lumbar mobility following the intervention and compared between the Dry Dynamic Cupping and IASTM groups. | Baseline and 2 Weeks Post-Intervention |
