Phonophoresis in Continuous Mode Ultrasound has Significant effect in the Reliving Pain in Upper Trapezius Tender Point
Subscribe/Renew Journal
Methods: 30 subjects presenting with upper trapezius muscles spasm, aged 20-30 years old, participated in this Study. Subjects underwent a screening process to establish the presence of tender points in upper trapezius muscle. Subjects were divided randomly into 2 groups.
Group A = continuous mode of ultrasound (0.8 w/cm2 for 5 minutes)
Group B = pulsed mode of ultrasound (0.8 w/cm2 for 5 minutes)
Visual Analogue Scale and Range of Motion is assessed pre treatment and immediately post treatment.
Result the p value of VAS (post treatment) and ROM (post treatment) in continous mode was 0.000
Conclusion: continous mode of ultrasound is better for immediate pain relive as compared to pulsed mode when diclofenac sodium is used as the coupling medium.
