Summary

Study will be randomized clinical trial. Data will be collected from non probability consecutive sampling technique. Total 44 participants from Rafiqa Hospital and District Headquarter (DHQ) Sargodha will be selected and randomly allocated to two different groups i.e Group A and Group B. Group A will be treated with Instrument assisted Fascial Abrasion and Conventional Therapy for 5 minutes, 6 sessions (3 sessions per week) (12) while Group B will be treated with Myofascial Release Technique and Conventional Therapy for 2 to 3 minutes, 5-7 repetitions and 3 sessions per week on alternate days were given for 6 weeks. NPRS, MOS-36, NDI will be used as outcome measuring tool before and after treatment. Data will be analyzed by using Statistical package for social sciences 25.

Conditions

  • Cervicogenic Headache

Interventions

OTHER

Instrument based Fascial abrasion technique

Participants were in a comfortable position during treatment. Emollient (anti-allergic) was applied to prevent skin irritation prior to Fascial Abrasion application. Each session included 1 minute of sweeping (longitudinal strokes performed parallel to the muscle fibers similar to compression with oscillations) directly over the Myofascial trigger points, 2 minutes of fanning (one end of the instrument was held in place \& the other end moved through a semicircular pattern similar to petrissage) and concluded with 1 min of sweeping. Fascial Abrasion tool was washed in alcohol-based sanitizer before and after every treatment session and all norms of COVID-19 precautions were maintained. Myofascial trigger points were marked with a 1×1 cm piece of tape/under wrap to confirm consistency of subsequent treatments.

OTHER

Myofascial release technique

All participants will get Conventional therapy i.e heating pad for 10 minutes. For the application of technique, the patient position will be supine lying with head fully supported on therapist hands and therapist places 3 middle fingers just inferior to the nucle line, lifts the finger tips towards the ceiling while resting the head on the table and then therapist applied a gentle upward pull. This procedure done for 2-3 minutes, 5-7 repetitions, 3 sessions per week on alternate days given for 6 weeks.
