Abstract
In an effort to find out the effectiveness of myofascial release with transcutaneous electrical stimulation on trapezitis, 30 subjects were selected using simple random sampling technique and assigned in to two experimental groups with 15 subjects each. Group A was treated with myofascial release with transcutaneous electrical stimulation and Group B was treated with transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation alone, each patient for a period of two weeks. Pre-test and Post-test scores are noted and analysis was done using independent ‘t’ test where the post test scores favored the alternate hypothesis. The intra group analysis was done and results were analyzed using paired ‘t’ test, which favored the alternate hypothesis. Statistical analysis shows that there is significant improvement on the subjects who are treated in Group A compared to Group B. CONCLUSION: The literature review and statistical analysis done from the data collected from the study have shown that Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation along with myofascial release helps in early pain relief and improves functional activities effectively on Trigger points in Trapezitis than Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation alone. Hence the alternative hypothesis of this study is accepted and stated as "There is significant difference between transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation with myofascial release technique over transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation alone in treating patients with Trigger points in Trapezitis ".
