{"title":"Comparing the Effects of Post Facilitation Stretching and Active Release Technique on Pain, Pain Pressure Threshold and Patients Satisfaction in Upper Trapezius Trigger Points","authors":"Ali Asad Naeem, Yasha Sajjad, Dr. Adeel Mateen Qureshi, Laraib Noor, Qasim Raza, Amna Iqbal, Hafiz Muhammad umer Maqsood, Dr. Kaiynat Shafique PT","doi":"10.47672/ejhs.1616","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.47672/ejhs.1616","url":null,"abstract":"Purpose: Trigger points are localized, hyperirritable areas term as “Knots” and are palpable in taut band of muscle fibers, tendon or a ligament. To compare the effects on Post facilitation stretching and Active release technique on pain, pain pressure threshold and level of patients’ satisfaction in upper trapezius trigger points.
 Methodology: It was a quasi-experimental study with sample size of 30 and convenient sampling was used. Inclusion criteria of study were females and males of age 25 to 40 years, positive jump sign and persistent pain for more than 4 months. Study setting was the physical therapy departments of private hospitals of Faisalabad and Lahore. Study duration was 6 months. Out of 30 patients 15 were enrolled in group-A (baseline therapy and Post facilitation stretching) and remaining 15 were enrolled in group-B (baseline therapy and Active release technique). Pain pressure threshold was measured by algometer, Intensity of pain was assessed by NPRS before and after the treatment of one week and patient satisfaction was measure by PSQ-18 after the treatment. Data was analyzed by software SPSS 24. Demographic data and test statistics was presented in form of tables.
 Findings: Out of 30 patients, 33.3% were male and 66.7% were females. Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test for within-group analysis revealed a significance difference (p≤0.05) in NPRS and PPT before and after the treatment in both groups. Mann-Whitney U test for between-group analyses showed the p>0.05, which means that no significant differences was observed in results produced by Post facilitation stretching in group A and Active release technique in group B.
 Recommendations: A significantly reduction in the pain intensity and enhancement in pain pressure threshold was observed in both groups. Both Post facilitation stretching and active release techniques were equally effective in reducing intensity of pain, improving pain pressure threshold in upper trapezius trigger points and patients of both groups showed equally satisfaction level after the treatment. Informed by targeted intervention theories, the study utilized rigorous research methodologies for validation. Practitioners are advised to undergo specialized training for PFS and ART application, ensuring a tailored approach per individual needs. Policymakers should set stringent licensing standards and promote continued research to bolster the techniques' efficacy and widespread adoption.","PeriodicalId":224837,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Health Sciences","volume":"117 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135766117","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study was conducted in the main campuses of two public universities namely Kenyatta University and Multimedia University and two private universities, United States International University- Africa, KCA-University in Nairobi County in Kenya. The target population were students aged between 18-25 years studying in universities with main campuses in Nairobi County. The total study population was approximately 192,193 students. The study applied stratified random sampling to identify the 370 students who completed the study questionnaires. Purposive sampling was used to select the students and staff who participated in in-depth interviews. The students who participated in focus group discussions were randomly selected.   \u0000Findings: The study found out that most students, 95 (25.7%) reported to be aware of the Constitution of Kenya (2010) followed by 74 (20%) students who reported to be aware of the National Reproductive Health Policy (2007). When looking at the university level policy frameworks, most students, 229 (61.9%) split in almost equal numbers, male, 120 (32.4%) and female, 109 (29.5%) are aware of the university HIV/AIDS policy. The surveyed students who said they were not aware of any university SRH policies were 94 (25.4%), split in equal numbers between male and female students. The findings indicate low awareness of SRH policy frameworks by either gender which can be interpreted to mean that participation of the students in the development of the policy frameworks and dissemination of the developed policies is poor. \u0000Recommendations: The study’s recommendation to universities is to regularly disseminate national and university level SRH policy frameworks to the students.

At Sharp Grossmont Hospital (SGH), sepsis cases increased the patient mortality rate in comparison to other Sharp facilities. Currently, no tools are utilized to identify septic patients at SGH.

Rotavirus infection is the leading cause of diarrhea in children under five and it is highly contagious. It poses an exception to typical diarrheal disease management rules. While improved access to clean water and better sanitation and hygiene practices are vital to preventing most diarrheal diseases, they have done little to disrupt infection. The virus may cause severe, dehydrating diarrhea in young children and, in untreated cases, lead to death. The aim of this study is to determine the knowledge, attitude and practices regarding Rotavirus Prevention and its vaccination among medical workers in Rukiga district \u0000Methodology: A total of 263 health workers were selected through random sampling. A structured and validated questionnaire was used. Questions about knowledge, attitude and practices were collected and verified on scale. Descriptive statistics were presented; multivariable regression analysis was done to determine the correlation of knowledge, attitude level, and practices with socio demographic variables such as age, sex and education. The p value≤0.05 considered was statistically significant. \u0000Findings: 118(47.14%) had adequate knowledge, 164(66.138%) positive attitude and 102(41.1%) appropriate practices on the Rotavirus diarrhoea prevention. Knowledge, attitude level and practices were increased significantly with increasing age, sex and education. After controlling for variables in the multivariable regression model, age, sex and education were the significant factors in determining the scores on knowledge, attitude and practices.

One of the main treatments of sickle cell patients is the requirement of blood transfusions. Post transfusion alloimmunization of red blood cell antigens continue to be a major risk for SCD patients. The study objective is to determine the rate, nature, and risk factors of red cell alloimmunization among pediatric SCD patients in our center and compare our results to published reports from the KSA, regional and some international countries. \u0000Methodology: A retrospective study drsign was adopted with record review of SCD patients at King AbdulAziz Medical City-Jeddah (KAMC-J) between 2008-2019 where blood samples were analyzed for alloimmunization using immunohematological techniques. Demographic characteristics and transfusion history were recorded. Data analysis was conducted by SPSS ver. 26. Data are summarized as frequency distribution and chi square test was used to check significance of the difference in the frequency of alloantibodies among subgroups.   \u0000Findings: Out of all examined sickle cell patients (n=112). Alloantibodies were detected in 21 patients (17.4%), and these were mostly single in 15 patients (71.4%) as anti-K (23.7%), anti-E (19.0%), and anti-S (9.5%). The other six patients (28.6%) had multiple alloantibodies, especially the combination of anti-C and anti-K (9.5%) and the combination of anti-C and anti-E (9.5%). Alloantibodies were significantly higher in patients who had been admitted to the hospital > 5 times annually, those who had an exchange blood transfusion, age groups > 3 years, and for those who received a larger number of blood units (p-value < 0.05). \u0000Recommendations: The consequences of red blood cell alloimmunization are highly significant and, therefore, extended RBC antigens to include ABO, RH (D, C, c, E, e), K, Fya, Fyb, Jka and Jkb antigens in the screening panel for donors and recipients is highly recommended to ensure better transfusion practices and avoid transfusion related complications.
