To compare the effects of Autogenic Inhibition and Reciprocal Inhibition Muscle Energy Techniques (METS) in Piriformis Syndrome
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease. Knee OA patients sometimes report episodes of knee instability that limit their ADLs. The episodes of instability are similar to those reported in knee ligament injuries. It is believed that modifications of interventions that are used to promote knee stability in knee ligament injuries can be used in knee OA to enhance knee stability and function. The purpose of this study will be to determine the effects of agility and perturbation-based training in addition to routine physical therapy on pain, function, quality of life and disability in knee osteoarthritis.
The postpartum (or postnatal) period begins after childbirth and is typically considered to last for six weeks. Stress is considered a response to any stressor within external or internal milieu, to stay in an adaptive mode using functional or dysfunctional coping skills. It initiates an alterable mode that ultimately becomes a prolonged adaptive struggle The study will be a randomized controlled trial and will be conducted in Jinnah hospital, Lahore. This study will be completed in a time duration of 8 months after the approval of synopsis. Nonprobability convenience sampling technique will be used, and participants will be recruited in study after randomization. The subjects will be divided into two groups and group A will receive progressive relaxation technique along with Benson relaxing technique. and group B will receive progressive relaxation technique and deep breathing exercises will be used as a baseline treatment. The tools that will be used for pre and post treatment assessment are Postpartum fatigue scale (PFS), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS_10), WHOQOL-BREF Scale. The data will be assessed after 12 weeks. After data collection data will be analyzed by using SPSS version 25.
Fibromyalgia, a chronic pain disorder, presents a significant challenge in healthcare due to its widespread musculoskeletal pain, tenderness, and a spectrum of associated symptoms. This condition profoundly affects patients' physical functions and quality of life, necessitating effective therapeutic interventions. In this study progressive relaxation technique and aquatic therapy with progressive relaxation technique will be used. In aquatic therapy the buoyancy and water resistance play an important role in pain management. This research project aims to explore the efficacy of a novel therapeutic approach by combining progressive relaxation exercises with aquatic therapy. This will be a randomized controlled trial in which non-probability convenience sampling technique will be used. Sample size will be 54 and this study will be conducted in city hospital, Rahim Yar khan. The study duration will be 7 months participants will be divided into 2 groups (27 in each group). The data will be assessed pre values and post values after 8 week of treatment with the help of visual analog scale for pain, fibromyalgia impact questionnaire, berg balance scale, fatigue severity scale and timed up and go. Data will be analyzed with SPSS version 25.
Aim of the study to evaluate the impact of mobilization on symptom severity, disability & quality of life in female with Coccydynia.
Pneumonia is the inflammation of lung parenchyma involving lungs alveoli and is a leading cause of lower respiratory tract infections and deaths around the globe and the number rises greatly after the Covid-19 pandemic. The Symptoms of Pneumonia is cough, fever, dyspnea, myalgia, altered blood gas ratio, and mental alteration. Treatment and management of this disease varies from patient to patient according to its severity stages .Blow Bottle supports the patient to remove excess secretions to increase pressure in the airways. This opens up the passageways in bronchioles, air behind the mucus push it into the larger airways .It will be easy to remove mucus by coughing or huffing. Hypoximia is a clinical feature of Pneumonia that requires a fraction of inspired oxygen FiO2 of 0.50 to maintain an oxygen saturation of 92%. This research of randomized clinical trial will check the comparative effects of Blow Bottle Technique and Acapella along with Diaphragmatic Breathing in patients with Pneumonia by taking sample of 50 patients through Non Probability convenience sampling and randomly allocating them to two groups A and B out of which A will receive both Blow Bottle and Diaphragmatic Breathing training, B will receive Acapella with Diaphragmatic Breathing upto the duration of 3 days per week for upto 4 weeks. Pre and post training outcomes of pulmonary function will be measured through BCSS ,Oxygen Saturation through Pulse Oximeter, and disease severity through Pneumonia severity index, and Who QOL questionnaire. The data will be analyzed through SPSS 21
Asthma is a chronic and heterogeneous disease characterized by reversible airway obstruction, airway inflammation and bronchial damage causing dyspnea, wheezing, chest tightness, coughing and impaired quality of life. Papworth technique and Pranayama modify the pattern of breathing to reduce the hyperventilation resulting in normalization of CO2 levels, reduction of bronchospasm and resulting breathlessness .These techniques also change the emotional stresses, improve the immunity system and improve the strength /endurance of respiratory muscles. After taking the consent form from the participants, data will be collected from Gulab Devi Chest Hospital. Non-Probability Convenience Sampling will be applied on asthmatic patients according to inclusion criteria. Patients will be allocated through simple random sampling into group A and B to collect data. Group A will be treated by Papworth technique. Four weeks will be required to complete the treatment plan. Three sessions will be given for one week so total 12 sessions will be given in one month. Group B will be treated by Pranayama. Four weeks will be required to complete the treatment plan. Three sessions will be given for one week so total 12 sessions will be given in one month. Papworth Technique and Pranayama are used and are assessed to see their effectiveness in asthmatic patients by using four questionnaires on dyspnea, fatigue, anxiety, depression and quality of life. These four standardized questionnaires are Borg Dyspnea Scale (BDS), Modified Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS), Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale (HADS) and Asthma Quality of life. Pulse oximeter will be used to check the oxygen saturation. The study duration will be completed within time duration of 7 months.
Whipple procedure is one of the most complex surgeries among hepatobiliary surgeries. It has named as Pancreaticoduodenectomy. It can cause many PPCs. Lung volumes are reduced due to atelectasis and pneumonia. Incentive spirometer (IS) is used to prevent PPCs. Due to general anesthesia, atelectasis is among most frequent PPCs. Pursed Lip Breathing (PLB) supports the patient to control the breath. The shriveling lips provide resistance to the air flowing out of the lungs. Airway collapse can be prevented by prolonged exhalation. Dyspnea occurs during 6MWT when patient performs walk in corridor. The aim of this study is to check the effect of Incentive Spirometer and Pursed Lip Breathing to improve dyspnea, oxygen saturation and hospital stay after Whipple procedure. This research of RCT will check the effect of IS and PLB by taking sample size of 60 post-operative patients through convenient sampling technique by allocating them randomly in group A and group B. Group A will receive PLB and group B will receive IS with baseline treatment chest percussions up to the duration of every day till discharge (reading will be collected on every 4rth day), dyspnea will be assessed through 6MWT and measured by Modified MRC dyspnea scale. The data will be analyzed through SPSS 26.
To find the effect of cardiac rehabilitation program with and without progressive resisted exercises on patients after acute stage of PCI with at least 8 weeks history. It is a randomized clinical trial using convenient sampling technique. Randomly assign participants into two groups: An intervention group receiving Delorme progressive resisted exercise along with cardiac rehab and a control group undergoing standard cardiac rehabilitation alone. In Group A, Delorme technique will involve a 10-repetition max of aerobic and resistance exercises along with cardiac rehab. Seven different exercises will be performed in 3 sets of 10-repetition max. The control group will not be performing any type of training but will undergo cardiac rehab alone. Data will be analyzed using t test and SPSS 21 will be used for data collection. Age group will be from ≥70 years with patient undergoing dyspnea along with recent history of primary diseases. Data will be collected from Bethania Hospital, Sialkot through tools like the 6-minute walk test, Rose Angina questionnaire or settle angina questionnaire, quality of life scale (QOLFS), and Modified Borg dyspnea scale.
