Clinical Trial Summary

PFPS, also known as patellofemoral pain syndrome, is a prevalent musculoskeletal condition that primarily affects adolescents and young adults. When engaging in various activities, such as stair climbing, running, jumping, kneeling, or prolonged sitting, it is characterized by aching pain in the peripatellar region. Any disruption of these would result in abnormal PFJ overloading. Normal patellar tracking on the trochlea groove relies on the coordination and balance of many structures, including soft tissues, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and the shape of articular surfaces around the knee joint. Research in a variety of fields has received support the therapeutic exercise known as "clamshells" for stabilizing the pelvis by strengthening the hip abductors and external rotators.VMO strengthening exercises are also essential in keeping the patella in the trochlear groove and lowering the lateral vector force on the patellofemoral joint. This research aims to evaluate the effects of clamshells exercise and Vastrus medialis oblique strengthening exercise in patients with Patellofemoral pain syndrome. The study would be randomized clinical trial. Total fourty two subjects will be assigned randomly by using lottery method into two groups. Group A will be given clamshell exercise with baseline treatment while Group B will receive targeted vastrus medialis oblique strengthening exercise with baseline treatment. After confirmation of diagnosis with physical examination as well as zohlar's test /20 cm step down test are recommended. Numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) and Lower extremity functional scale (LEFS) would be used as an outcome measure tools for pain and functional limitation respectively. Measurements will be taken at (Baseline and at the end of treatment session). The collected data will be analyzed in Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 25.0. Parametric/non-parametric tests will be applied after testing normality of data.

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
