Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to determine the effect of muscle energy technique versus myofascial release on cervical and lumbar pain in premenopausal women with fibromyalgia

Conditions

Lumbar Pain Syndrome; Cervical Pain

Keywords

Cervical pain,lumbar pain,fibromyalgia

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Fibromyalgia impact questionnaire

  Used to assess health related quality of life before and after the treatment, maximum score means worse outcome

  Four weeks

• Visual analogue scale

  Used to assess the severity of cervical and lumbar pain of each premenopausal women in both groups before and after the treatment, maximum score means worse outcome

  Four weeks

• Active range of motion of cervical and lumbar regions

  Measurement of active flexion, extension, lateral flexion in cervical and lumbar regions before and after the treatment

  Four weeks

Study Arms (2)

Myofascial release

EXPERIMENTAL

The patients will receive myofascial release technique on cervical and lumbar regions three times per week for four weeks

Other: Myofascial release

Muscle energy technique

EXPERIMENTAL

The patients will receive muscle energy technique for cervical and lumbar regions three times per week for four weeks

Other: Muscle energy technique

Interventions

Myofascial release OTHER

Is Facilitation of mechanical and neurological adaptive capacity as integrated through the Myofascial system

Myofascial release

Muscle energy technique OTHER

Is manual therapy procedure that involves alternating periods of resisted muscle contraction and assisted stretching

Muscle energy technique
