Brief Summary
|
THIS STUDY HELPS TO COMPARE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF DEEP FRICTION MASSSAGE IN COMBINATION WITH ULTRASOUND THERAPY,LOW LEVEL THERAPY IN REDUING THE PAIN,HAND GRIP,TENDON THICKNESS AND RANGE OF MOTION OF WRIST IN PATIENTS WITH DEQUERVAIN’S DISEASE.A TOTAL OF 168 PATIENTS WILL BE SCREENED AND RANDOMLY ASSIGNED DEEP FRICTION AND ULTRASOUND THERAPY(GROUP A),DEEP FRICTION MASSAGE AND LOW LEVEL LASER THERAPY(GROUP B) AND CONTROL ULTRASOUND THERAPYTHERAPY(GROUP C).THE STUDY IS TO BE DONE IN THE OUT PATIENT DEPARTMENT IN THE COLLEGE OF PHYSIOTHERAPY,A.C.S MEDICAL COLLEGE,DR.M.G.R EDUCATIONAL AND RESEARCH INSTITUTE, THE PRE AND POST TESTS WILL BE DONE USING PAIN SCORE,DASH SCORE, TENDON THICKNESS USING SONOGRAPHY AND GRIP STRENGTH WITH HAND DYNAMOMETER.THIS STUDY AIMS AT DETERMINING THESE NON PHARMACOLOGICAL APPROACHES IN HANDLING PATIENTS WITH DEQUERVAINS DISEASE. |
