To determine the additional effects of Quranic listening meditation, in combination with High-Intensity Interval Training on cardiovascular fitness and mental health in obese adults.
Mental health problems are amongst the major contributors to disease burden globally. According to a recent study, 34% of young people worldwide (aged 10-19) suffer from depression and more than half of this population belongs to Southeast Asia such as Pakistan, India, and China. Existing evidence shows that the access to mental health services in LMICs is limited and even fewer child psychiatric services are available. One approach to overcome barriers such as limited availability of trained mental health professionals and risk of stigma may involve the use of simple, brief, scalable interventions based on basic psychological principles rather than treatment of psychopathology. This study adapts and evaluates two brief interventions called behavioral activation single session intervention (BA-SSI) and 4-session Mindset intervention (MI) for teenage depression and anxiety in Pakistan, where access to mental health care is constrained by societal stigma and a shortage of clinicians.
This research aimed to contribute valuable insights into the potential benefits of incorporating the portable wedge device into preventive or therapeutic interventions for calf-related musculoskeletal issues.
PRISM-TB is an international, multicenter, open-label, randomized, controlled, pragmatic, stratified medicine, treatment shortening, noninferiority Phase 3 clinical trial for fluoroquinolone-susceptible multidrug-resistant/rifampin-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis (FQ-S MDR/RR-TB). The trial objective is to evaluate whether stratified medicine treatment strategies for FQ-S MDR/RR-TB, defined by a pre-specified risk stratification algorithm, have noninferior efficacy to a one-size-fits-all control regimen (the local standard-of-care [SOC] regimen consistent with preferred regimen(s) in international guidelines), as measured by TB-related unfavorable outcomes at Week 73.
This study will compare the effectiveness of the Elongation Longitudinaux Avec Decoaptation Osteo Articulaire (ELDOA) method and upper thoracic mobilization and mobility exercises in correcting forward head posture (FHP). This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of these methods in reducing forward head posture. The total sample size will be 36, with each group consisting of 18 participants. This study will be a randomized clinical trial. Participants who meet the inclusion criteria will be selected through screening and then assessed for outcomes using NPRS, a goniometer, the Neck Disability Index (NDI), and Web Plot Digitizer (WPD) Software. Statistical analysis will be conducted using SPSS version 27.
The patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is a common cause for "anterior knee pain" and mainly affects young women. the effectiveness of Mulligan technique with or without diclofenac phonophoresis on pain, range of motion and functional disability of knee joint in patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome is known little. This study, ethically approved, focused on patients with anterior knee pain referred to the Physical Therapy Department from Lahore General Hospital. After eligibility assessments and consent, participants were randomly assigned to Group A (Experimental) or Group B (Control). Over four weeks, three sessions per week, routine physiotherapy and specific exercises will be administered, with Group A receiving additional Phonophoresis using ultrasound and diclofenac gel. Outcome variables (Numeric Pain Rating Scale, KOOS-PF, Universal Goniometer) will be assessed by a blinded assessor at baseline and study completion.
Pneumatic Artificial Muscles (PAMs), inspired by the structure and function of natural muscles, offer a lightweight and adaptable solution compared to traditional rigid Ankle Foot Orthosis(AFOs).
The effectiveness of scapular muscular training along with conventional physiotherapy on the improving the grip strength of the patients suffering with the lateral epicondylitis was assessed by diving 56 patinets in two grousp as Group A (n=28) was treated with conventional physiotherapy treatment and Group B (n=28) was treated with Scapular strengthening and conventional physiotherapy protocol.
This research aims to contribute valuable insights into the potential benefits of incorporating the portable wedge device into preventive or therapeutic interventions for calf-related musculoskeletal issues. By combining economical, ergonomic principles and user-friendly features, the proposed device offers individuals a convenient and efficient means to enhance their calf flexibility, ultimately mitigating strain and reducing spasms.
Optimizing Football Training at Multan Sports Complex: Integrating Portable Force Plates for Advanced Performance Analysis," aims to enhance football training through innovative technology. Under the supervision of Dr. Junaid Gondal, this MS Rehabilitation Science project explores the use of portable force plates to provide real-time data on players' biomechanics, enabling personalized training programs that improve performance and reduce injury risks.
