简要总结
Total number of 60 Subjects will be selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria and consent will be taken from all the selected subjects before the commencement of study. Then, all the baseline measurements will be taken by the therapist before treatment. Then we will take the pre-intervention assessment for pain by using visual analogue scale and disability by PRTEE scale, Grip Strength by Hand-held Dynamometer and PPT of MTrPs by pressure algometer for the ECRB muscle.
The subject will be allocated into two groups using a simple randomization process. After that the therapist will gently stretch the ECRB muscle. The needle will be inserted after locating the MTrPs. The needle will remain in the affected muscle for ten minutes, and then after 10 minutes, the needle will be removed and the hemostasis will be maintained.
Group 1: Myofascial Stretch Dry Needling Group
Myofascial Stretch Dry Needling (MSDN) Group [n=30], The subject will be asked to sit down in the comfortable position. All baseline measurements will be taken by the therapist before treatment. Flat palpation with appropriate pressure for MTrPs in the ECRB muscle will be done by the examiner. In the next step, the therapist will gently stretch the ECRB muscle. The needle (0.25× 25 mm) will be inserted after locating the MTrPs in the affected muscle, for ten minutes. The needle will be removed after 10 minutes, and the hemostasis will be maintained.
Group 2: Traditional Dry Needling Group
Myofascial Stretch Dry Needling (MSDN) Group [n=30], The subject will be asked to sit down in the comfortable position. All baseline measurements will be taken by the therapist before treatment. In the next step, the ECRB muscle will be in the neutral position and then the flat palpation with appropriate pressure for MTrPs in the ECRB muscle was done by the examiner. The needle (0.25× 25 mm) will be inserted after locating the MTrPs in the affected muscle, for ten minutes. The needle will be removed after 10 minutes, and the hemostasis will be maintained.
Therapeutic sessions will be provided for 6 alternative days and data will be collected 3 times (Before the starting of the session, in between of the ongoing session and after the session is finished )
