Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

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.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Cervical muscles Stretching

Stretching is applied to the effected muscles in order to increase the muscle length and flexibility by breaking adhesions. Stretching exercises considerably decrease neck pain and improve range of motion

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

cervical stretching

Intervention Type OTHER

Heating therapy for 10 minutes Passive stretching of neck muscles including Sub-occipital muscles, Trapezius upper boarder and Sternocleidomastoid muscle with 10 reps each

Soft tissue mobilization with trigger point release.

Soft tissue mobilization increases skin temperature, a rise in skin temperature indicates increase blood flow of involved area, provide relaxation and reduce muscle tension.Trigger point therapy is consisting of rubbing and pressing on trigger points.Heavy pressure must be applied to release trigger, light pressure is not effective. Pressure should be applied slowly and released slowly for best results and the pressure should be maintained until there is a change in pain

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

soft tissue mobilization

Intervention Type OTHER

Heating therapy for 10 minutes Soft tissue mobilization for 8 minutes and trigger point release of sub-occiptal muscles with 5 repetitions each.
