简要总结
The aim of this study was to determine the effects of soft tissue mobilization and trigger point release verses stretching in tension-type headache among university students. Two randomized groups of participants with tension type headache will be treated with combination therapy of soft tissue mobilization and trigger point release therapy after the application of hot-pack in experimental group while control group received stretching of cervical muscles after hot-pack application .Both, male and female patients meeting the inclusion criteria will be included. Patients having malignancy and cervical tumor will be excluded.
详细描述
It was a Randomized Control Trial Study. Study setting was Bashir Institute of Health sciences. Inclusion Criteria was Age 18 to 25 year's students, with tension type headache and trigger point in neck muscles. 30 Subjects were randomly and equally allocated to experimental group (n=15) and control group (n=15) through toss and coin method. Outcomes include cervical range of motions were measured by Goniometer and VAS for paini.e., used at baseline and at the final session for duration of 3 weeks.
