Brief Summary

Single blind randomized control trail in which two groups were formed. Group A was given Muscle energy technique and Group B was given muscle energy technique in combination with Interferential therapy.

Detailed Description

After getting the REC approval from The Neurocounsel Clinics, study was initiated from 21 May, 2023 to 20 September 2023. Sample size was calculated by Epitool which came 30.
