Abstract

Aim: To study the Immediate effect of Integrated Neuromuscular Inhibition Technique versus Integrated Neuromuscular Inhibition Technique with Surged Faradic Current on pain & range of motion among patient with subacute trapezitis.

Relevance of study: The study helps us to compare the need and importance of integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique and integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique with surge faradic current on pain and range of motion among patient with subacute trapezitis.

Methodology: In this Comparative study 70 patients were taken according to inclusion & exclusion criteria. Pre & post analysis were done using three outcomes measures which includes NPRS, NDI, CERVICAL CONTRALATERAL RANGE OF MOTION. The subjects were explained about the study and given information about the study how the study benefits them.

Results: On intragroup comparison using paired t test for INIT the pre intervention mean of NPRS, NDI, CLSF was 6.686±0.93, 14±4.2 ,30.2±4.19 respectively. Obtained p-value after intervention is <0.0001 which implies there is significance difference between pre- post comparison. On intragroup comparison using paired t test for INIT WITH SURGED FARADIC CURRENT the pre intervention mean of NPRS, NDI, CLSF was 6.85±0.87, 13.2±4.0,29.14±4.4 respectively. Obtained p-value after intervention is <0.0001 which implies there is significance difference between pre- post comparison.

Conclusion: In patient with trapezitis both INIT AND INIT&SF both are equally effective in decreasing pain and increasing range of motion.
