Brief Summary

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

The study will focus on the effects of active tissue release techniques on groin pain, hip range of motion, and functional disability in 2nd trimester of pregnancy. This will be a randomized controlled trial conducted on 30 participants from Prime Care Hospital. Pregnant women in the second trimester aged between 25 to 35 years, who have groin or round ligament pain will be included in this study. A sample of 30 will be divided into 2 groups. Group A will undergo treatment of active release techniques for 10 minutes thrice a week with no home plan of home relaxation exercises. In contrast, Group B will combine treatment of active release technology with home relaxation exercises. Treatment will be given for 4 weeks and pain will be assessed before and after the treatment through (NPRS) scale. Functional disability will be measured before and after the treatment through Quebec scale and Force Disability Scale Questionnaire in both groups.

Detailed Description

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

Groin pain mostly occurs in the first and second trimesters of pregnancy due to round ligament pain because the womb expands and causes stretching of ligaments making it more likely to become strained. The study will be focused on the effects of active tissue release techniques on groin pain, hip range of motion, and functional disability in 2nd trimester of pregnancy. A baseline treatment of ice therapy will be given for 10 minutes to all participants of this study. A sample of 30 will be divided into 2 groups. Group A will undergo treatment of active release techniques for 10 minutes thrice a week with no home plan of home relaxation exercises. In contrast, Group B will combine treatment of active release technology with home relaxation exercises.

Treatment will be given for 4 weeks and pain will be assessed before and after the treatment through (NPRS) scale. Functional disability will be measured before and after the treatment through the Quebec scale and Force Disability Scale Questionnaire in both groups. Recorded values will be analyzed for any change using SPSS
