Abstract

Objective: To compare whether heat therapy (moist heat pack) is more effective before exercise therapy or after exercise therapy in chronic MSK pain in females. Design Randomized clinical trial study. Methodology: This study is conducted in Abbas institute of medical sciences Muzaffarabad and Muzaffarabad physiotherapy clinic Muzaffarabad.40 female patients with chronic MSK pain are recruited in the study and a questionnaire-based survey was carried out. A self-structured questionnaire is used for demographic details. For screening of chronic MSK pain short form of Orebro pain questionnaire is used. A numeric rating scale in both groups is used to check the intensity of pain. Result: The results showed that between group A and B there was no significant difference. But clinically group B showed more improvement than group A.Both groups showed improvement after treatment. Conclusion: The application of heat therapy (moist hot pack) was found to be more effective after exercises than its use before exercises to improve pain in females with chronic musculoskeletal pain.

Abstract

Objective: To determine the effect of deep breathing exercises on lung volumes and capacities among smokers. Methodology: The participants were divided into a control group and an experimental group. The control group was not given any treatment, while the experimental group performed deep breathing exercise techniques. The experimental group performed exercises for six weeks. After six weeks lung function tests were performed to evaluate the effects. Data were compared at baseline and after the intervention. To check within the group's changes paired sample t-test was used. To check between groups changes independent sample t-test was used for normally distributed data. Results: In the experimental group, significant changes (p ≤ 0.05) were observed after the intervention. While comparing groups, significant differences (p ≤ 0.05) were observed in some variables between experimental and control groups.Conclusion: It was concluded that deep breathing exercises are useful among smokers. As deep breathing helps in improving lung volumes and capacities.
