简要总结
The goal of this clinical trial is to check the comparative effectiveness of Graston Techniques and Dry cupping in Office Workers with Scapulocostal syndrome. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- To evaluate the relative effectiveness of dry cupping and the Graston technique.
- How well each technique reduces symptoms and enhances work productivity and functional outcomes.
- To assess whether integrating either Graston Technique or Dry Cupping provides more beneficial effects than conventional treatment alone.
1) Be divided into 2 Groups (Group A= Dry Cupping; B: Graston Techniques) 2) get the treatment for 4 weeks (3 days a week). 3) Receive the same conventional treatment.
详细描述
This study aims to compare the effectiveness of Graston and Dry cupping in treating Scapulocostal syndrome in office workers, focusing on specific outcomes like pain severity, functional outcomes, and work productivity.
This study will be a randomized clinical trial with a sample size of 46 participants with work-related SCS. The participants will be obtained by non-probability convenient sampling based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Participants will be randomly assigned into two groups, with 23 subjects in each group. Group A will receive dry cupping along with conventional therapy while Group B will receive IASTM along with conventional therapy.

结局指标
主要结局
Change From Baseline in Pain Intensity as Measured by the Visual Analog Scale
时间窗: 4 Weeks
Pain intensity will be measured using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), a 100 mm horizontal line anchored by two extremes: 0 mm represents "no pain" and 100 mm represents "worst imaginable pain." Participants will mark the point that best represents their pain intensity. The score is the distance in millimeters from the left end to the mark. Change in pain intensity will be calculated by subtracting the Week 4 score from the baseline score. A decrease in VAS score indicates an improvement in pain levels.
Cervical Range of Motion (ROM)
时间窗: 4 weeks
Cervical spine Range of Motion (ROM) will be assessed and measured using a universal goniometer by utilizing moving and stationary arm of angles in cervical spine range of motion..
次要结局
- Neck Disability Index (NDI) Total Score(4 Weeks)
- Treatment-Related Adverse Events During the 4-Week Intervention(4 weeks)
