Brief Summary

COMPARATIVE EFFECTS OF MYOFASCIAL RELEASE THERAPY AND POST ISOMETRIC RELAXATION TECHNIQUE ON PAIN AND FUNCTIONAL DISABILITY IN PATIENTS WITH TENSION-TYPE HEADACHE

Conditions

Neck Pain

Keywords

Myofascial release therapy

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Numerical pain rating scale

  The Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) is a subjective measure in which individuals rate their pain on an eleven-point numerical scale. The scale is composed of 0 (no pain at all) to 10 (worst imaginable pain).

  at the end of 4th week

Study Arms (2)

Myofascial release therapy

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

This group will receive routine physical therapy with myofascial release therapy.This protocol will be given for 3 alternative days per week. Each session will be of 40 minutes. Data will be calculated at baseline , at 2nd and at 4th week.

Other: Myofascial release therapy therapy

post isometric relaxation technique

EXPERIMENTAL

This group will receive routine physical therapy with post isometric relaxation technique.This protocol will be given for 3 alternative days per week. Each session will be of 40 minutes. Data will be calculated at baseline , at 2nd and at 4th week.

Other: Post isometric relaxation technique

Interventions

Myofascial release therapy therapy OTHER

Group A was treated with myofascial release therapy and routine physical therapy. For routine physical therapy subjects will first applied TENS, hot pack and neck isometric exercises then myofascial release therapy will be given. For myofascial release therapy subjects was in the supine or possibly sitting position, the examiner was seated at the head of the table, the examiner was used his right thumb to palpate (using flat palpation) the upper trapezius muscles from medial to lateral to establish if any MTrPs are present. The entire mass of the upper trapezius muscle is lifted by the supraspinatus muscle and grasped with a pincer grasp. The muscles at this point rotate between the thumb and forefinger to detect the delicate location of the trigger point. Treatment session longs for 10 minutes of myofascial release on each side

Myofascial release therapy

Post isometric relaxation technique OTHER
