Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Numerical pain rating scale
The Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) is a subjective measure in which individuals rate their pain on an eleven-point numerical scale. The scale is composed of 0 (no pain at all) to 10 (worst imaginable pain).

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
COMPARATIVE EFFECTS OF MYOFASCIAL RELEASE THERAPY AND POST ISOMETRIC RELAXATION TECHNIQUE ON PAIN AND FUNCTIONAL DISABILITY IN PATIENTS WITH TENSION-TYPE HEADACHE
Detailed Description
Tension-type headache (TTH) is the most common type of primary headache, typically presenting as a bilateral, non-throbbing headache with mild to moderate intensity. Patients with tension-type headache often report band-like tightness and increased tenderness of the pericranial muscles. Use of myofascial release technique and post isometric relaxation technique is believed to reduce the pain and improve the functional disability.

Intervention Name(s)
Myofascial release therapy therapy
Intervention Description
Group A was treated with myofascial release therapy and routine physical therapy. For routine physical therapy subjects will first applied TENS, hot pack and neck isometric exercises then myofascial release therapy will be given. For myofascial release therapy subjects was in the supine or possibly sitting position, the examiner was seated at the head of the table, the examiner was used his right thumb to palpate (using flat palpation) the upper trapezius muscles from medial to lateral to establish if any MTrPs are present. The entire mass of the upper trapezius muscle is lifted by the supraspinatus muscle and grasped with a pincer grasp. The muscles at this point rotate between the thumb and forefinger to detect the delicate location of the trigger point. Treatment session longs for 10 minutes of myofascial release on each side
