Abstract:
Purpose: To find out the Efficacy on Myofascial Release technique among the Neck
pain patient. Objectives: To assess the effect on pain after introducing Myofascial
release at different functional position. To find out the effect on pain after introducing
Myofascial release during travelling. To estimate the range of motion after
introducing Myofascial release. To investigate the effect on reducing discomfort after
introducing Myofascial release. Methodology: the study design was randomize control
trial. 10 patients with neck pain conveniently allocated to Myofascial release with
conventional physiotherapy group and 10 patients to the only conventional
physiotherapy group for this study. Visual analogue scale was used to measure pain
intensity in different functional position and Goniometer are used to measure range of
motion in different physiological range. Results: Following treatment the study found
that the experimental group showed a high response significant improvement (P<0.01
in general intensity, pain intensity in sitting position(p<0.01),pain at lying(p<0.025),
pain at neck turning(p<0.025), pain at neck bending(p<0.025)and pain at
standing(p<.01). A good response rate was achieved (P<0.05) in traveling. But, only
in walking significant pain reduction was not found where P <0.10. Study was
showed significant change in range of motion, during (p<0.025) flexion, (p<0.025)
extension, (p<0.01) side flexion (Rt), (p<0.10) side flexion (Lt), ( p<0.005)
rotation(Rt), (p<0.01) rotation (Lt).Conclusion: This true experimental study shows
that Myofascial release with conventional physiotherapy is more effective than only conventional physiotherapy for neck pain patient.
