Positional Release Technique in Patients With Unilateral Subacute Trapezitis

Cervical Spine Disease Clinical Trial

Official title: Effects of Positional Release Technique on Pain, Range of Motion and Function in Patients With Unilateral Subacute Trapezitis

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

To assess the effects of positional release technique to improve the cervical range of motion, relieve pain and function in the patient with unilateral subacute trapezitis.

Clinical Trial Description

Trapezius pain is the most common muscular pain due to increased stress which results in trapezitis. The trapezius muscle is postural muscle diamond shape highly susceptible to overuse. It helps in extension, neck rotation, and side bending. Trapezitis is frequently caused by bad posture, watching TV or working on computer for a long and use of thick pillo. Passive ROM may be painful and restricted due to protective spasm in muscle. This study will be a Randomized controlled study and will be conducted in Met Life Rehablitation center Lahore. The study will be completed within the time duration of six months . Consecutive sampling technique will be used to collect the data. The sample size of 44 patients will be taken in this study to find the effect of positional release technique in subacute unilateral trapezitis. Patient will be divided into two groups. Mayoficial release therapy and ultrasound will be given to both groups as a baseline treatment. (Group A will be treated with positional release technique, mayofascial release technique and ultrasound while Group B will be treated with mayofascial release technique and ultrasound). All measurements will be taken at baseline and at the end of 2nd week.Each group will be given 3 sessions per week for 2 weeks. Neck disability index will be used to measure function, Numeric pain rating scale will be used to measure pain intensity and goniometer will be used to measure cervical lateral flexion and extension and rotation range of motion. Data will be analyzed on SPSS 25. ;
