Comparative Effect of ART and MET on Pain, ROM and Functional Disability in AC Patients With Trigger Points

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The aim of this study to determine the Comparative effect of active release technique and muscle energy technique on pain, ROM and functional disability in adhesive capsulitis patients with trigger points.

Detailed Description
-----------------
74 participants are included in this study in two groups and 37 for each group. Group A for active release technique along with conventional therapy and Group B for muscles energy technique along with conventional therapy.

Arms and Interventions

| Participant Group/Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
| --- | --- |
| Experimental: Active Release Technique<br>In ART the particular muscle is taken from shortened to lengthened position or vice versa. Duration of treatment will be of 8-15min | Other: Active Release Technique and muscle energy technique<br>* 74 participants divided into two groups and 37 in each group.<br>|
| Experimental: Muscles Energy Technique<br>In METs,the protocol will perform for 3 repetitions per day and thrice a week for 5 week. | Other: Active Release Technique and muscle energy technique<br>* 74 participants divided into two groups and 37 in each group.<br>|

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Numerical pain rating scale | patients rate their pain from 0 to 10, from 0 to 20, or from 0 to 100. Zero represents no pain, whereas 10, 20, or 100 represents the opposite end of the pain continuum (e.g., the most intense pain imaginable, pain as intense as it could be, maximum pain). | Change from Baseline in pain to 6 week | 
| Universal Goniometry | Universal goniometer (UG) is commonly used as a standard method to evaluate range of motion (ROM) as part of joint motions. | Change from Baseline in range of motion to 6 week | 
| Shoulder Pain and Functional Disability Index | The Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) is a self-administered questionnaire consisting of items grouped into pain and disability subscales. | Change from Baseline in disability to 6 week |
