Summary

This project was a Randomized controlled trial conducted to check the comparative effects of wurn technique and mercier therapy on dyspareunia, dysmenorrhea, and quality of life in women with endometriosis. The duration was 6 months, convenient sampling was done, subjects following eligibility criteria from DHQ Hospital Narowal and THQ Hospital Shakargarh were randomly assigned, a baseline assessment was done, Group A participants were given baseline treatment along with wurn technique 2 sessions per week for 6 weeks, Group B participants were given baseline treatment along with mercier therapy 1 session per week for 6 weeks, the post-intervention assessment was done, via the Marinoff Scale, Mankoski Pain Scale and Endometriosis Health Profile Questionnaire (EHP 30). Data was analyzed by using SPSS version 26.

Interventions

OTHER

Wurn Technique

Treatment: Site-specific pressures for 30 seconds across the restrictive bands of adhered tissues and structures, working progressively deeper from the most superficial tissues Traction: focusing on these adhered areas, engage the uterine fundus and sidewalls and traction them to the left. To assist and improve the mobility of the soft tissues, release the traction tension either suddenly or gradually, depending on the desired effect to decrease spasms and adhesions between the uterus and the bladder. The baseline treatment was moist heat. Each therapy session was 30 minutes for 6 weeks and 2 sessions per week. 10 minutes for baseline treatment.

OTHER

Mercier Therapy

Treatment: The patient lay face up on a massage or exam table. Feel viscera, major internal organs located in the abdomen by lightly pressing through abdominal muscles. Manual poking, pressing, and massage actions do three things: Reveals visceral adhesions. Find tender spots. Breaks up adhesions. Massaging and pressing stretch the collagen fibers that make up fascia, which loosens tightly bound fibers to break up adhesions. This releases the organs and allows them to move more freely. Abdominal massage with pressing, deep strokes, and friction. The baseline treatment was moist heat. Each therapy session was 25 minutes for 6 weeks and 1 session per week. 10 minutes for baseline treatment
