Efficacy on myofascial release technique among the neck pain patient

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.
