ABSTRACT
Aim: To study the effect of Mulligan’s Pain Release Phenomenon on pain, disability and grip strength on chronic lateral epicondylitis.
Objectives: Following are the objectives of the study:1. To determine effect of mulligan pain release phenomenon on pain, disability and grip strength in chronic lateral epicondylitis.2. To compare the effect of mulligan pain release phenomenon with conventional therapy on pain, disability and grip strength in chronic lateral epicondylitis patient.
Methods: Ethical clearance was obtained from institutional ethical committee. 50 subjects with chronic lateral epicondylitis were assessed and were included in the study based on inclusion criteria, the individuals were allocated into two groups: Both group A (n=25) and B(n=25) will received the standardized treatment used for chronic lateral epicondylitis. The standardized treatment consisted of Cryotherapy, Phonophoresis, and strengthening exercises. In addition to the above-mentioned standardized treatment, group B received pain release phenomenon (PRP) as well. Pre and post-test were done for NPRS (Numerical pain rating scale), sphygmomanometer for grip, PRTEE scale and the outcome measures were analyzed after 7 sessions. Each exercise was done ten times for five sets each with a rest interval of 10 seconds in between each set.
Results: Intergroup statistical analysis for NPRS (p<0.0001), Sphygmomanometry for grip Strength (p<0.0001) and PRTEE Scale (p<0.0001) revealed extremely significant difference post intervention. Analysis of NPRS, Sphygmomanometry for grip strength and PRTEE Scale for group A (p<0.0001) and for group B (<0.0001) were extremely significant respectively.
Conclusion: The study results concluded that mulligan’s pain release phenomenon was significantly effective in relieving pain and improve strength in chronic lateral epicondylitis.
Key words: chronic lateral epicondylitis. Mulligan’s pain release phenomenon, grip strength, pain
