Официальное название
Comparative Effects of Graston Technique Versus Local Ischemic Compression on Trigger Points of Pectoralis Major and Minor Among Pseudo-angina Patients
Обзор
Pseudo-angina is a musculoskeletal condition characterized by chest pain that resembles angina but occurs due to non-cardiac causes, particularly myofascial trigger points in the chest wall muscles. Trigger points in the pectoralis major and minor muscles may contribute to pain, discomfort, and functional limitations by affecting muscle activity and movement. Manual therapy techniques such as the Graston Technique and Local Ischemic Compression (LIC) are commonly used to manage soft tissue dysfunction and myofascial trigger points. This study aims to compare the effects of the Graston Technique and Local Ischemic Compression on pain reduction and functional improvement in patients with pseudo-angina.
Подробное описание
This is Multiple-center, randomized controlled trail. Participants age 25-50 years with diagnosed pseudo angina will be referred from cardiology department of Aziz Fatima and Faisal hospital to Madina Teaching hospital (MTH) Physiotherapy ward and Jafar Physiotherapy Clinic. After informed consent Participants will be randomly assign to one of two parallel groups using a random number generator. Group A (Experimental): Receive Graston technique 3 sessions per week for total duration 4 weeks. Group B (Active Comparator) receive the LIC 3 sessions per week for total duration 4 weeks. Outcome measures (pain via NPRS, Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI)) are taken at baseline and end of treatment. Data will be analyzed using Spss version 20.
Вмешательства
- Другое Graston Technique
A stainless-steel Graston instrument was applied using controlled strokes at approximately a 45° angle to the skin surface, following the direction of the muscle fibers and across the fibers to mobilize soft tissue restrictions. The treatment was applied for approximately 40-120 seconds over each targeted area. - Другое Local Ischemic Compression
Sustained manual pressure was applied gradually over each trigger point until a tolerable level of discomfort was achieved. The compression was maintained for approximately 90 seconds per trigger point and repeated 1-3 times during each treatment session according to patient tolerance and clinical response. The technique was performed using the therapist's thumb, finger, or knuckle depending on the location and depth of the trigger point
