Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The study will be randomized control trial.For pain numerical pain scale (NPS),functional pelvic pain scale(FPPS) and pelvic floor impact questionnaire-7 will be used to asses pain and functionality respectively. A randomized control trial will be conducted on two groups. Group 1 will receive myofascial release with electrical stimulation in women with chronic pelvic pain for 4 weeks with 50-280 Hz frequency and a pulse duration of 50 µs for 10 minutes along with 10 minutes myofascial release..On the other hand Group 2 will receive myofascial release without electrical stimulation on pain and functionality in women with chronic pelvic pain. In previous studies there is ample amount of research conducted on chronic pelvic pain but there were very few recent studies available on myofascial release,so this relation of use of myofascial release with and without electrical stimulation on pain and functionality in chronic pelvic pain should also be carried out.
