Brief Summary

Aim of my study is to compare two techniques of METS i.e., autogenic and reciprocal inhibition techniques on pain, disability and Range of motion among smart phone user with trapezitis.

Detailed Description

Study focuses trapezitis in smart phone users. There are many different causes of neck pain, but one common factor is upper trapezitis. This refers to pain and spasms in the neck caused by inflammation of the trapezius muscle. The aim of this study is to compare the effects of autogenic and reciprocal inhibition techniques on pain, range of motion and disability among smart phone user with trapezitis.

This study will be randomized clinical trial and 40 patients male and female with age 20 to 40 years having NPRS >3 according to inclusion criteria will be included in the study. They will be allocated into 2 groups by non-probability convenience sampling technique. Group A will receive autogenic inhibition technique with conventional physical therapy while Group B will receive reciprocal inhibition technique with conventional therapy. Outcome measures; Neck Disability Index, goniometry and Numeric Pain Rating Scale will measure neck function and neck pain intensity. Total 12 sessions, 3 sessions per week for 4 weeks were provided. Each session was 45 minutes long and measurements will be taken at the baseline and at the end of 4th week. Data will be analyzed by SPSS version 25

Conditions

Neck Pain

Study Design

• Allocation Method: RANDOMIZED
• Intervention Model: PARALLEL
• Primary Study Purpose: TREATMENT
• Blinding Strategy: DOUBLE

Study Groups

autogenic inhibition

isometric of muscles and stretching of the same side

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

autogenic inhibition

Intervention Type: OTHER

Group 1 will receive AI-MET with conventional treatment. AI include stretching of the affected muscle and performing isometric contraction with 50% of the total patient's effort in the same muscle that will being stretched and position hold for 10 seconds, with 5 seconds of rest after every repetition. This procedure will repeat 5 times.

reciprocal inhibition

isometric of muscles and stretching of the opposite side

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

reciprocal inhibition

Intervention Type: OTHER

Group 2 receive RI-MET with conventional treatment. The RI also include stretching of the affected muscle but contrary to AI, isometric contraction of the antagonist muscles with the 50% of total patient's effort will follow. This position holds for 10 seconds, while agonist's muscle will still in the stretched position, with 5 seconds of rest after every repetition. This procedure will repeat 5 times too.
