About this study
Single blind randomized control trail in which two groups were formed. Group A was given Muscle energy technique and Group B was given muscle energy technique in combination with Interferential therapy.
Read the detailed description
After getting the REC approval from The Neurocounsel Clinics, study was initiated from 21 May, 2023 to 20 September 2023. Sample size was calculated by Epitool which came 30. Following participants were included a) both genders b) age 20-50 years and followings were excluded a) DM b) Parkinson disease c) disc disorder d) MSK disorder were excluded from this study. Simple random sampling technique was used to randomize participants into two equal groups. group A was given MET and group B was given MET plus IFT. 2 sessions/week for 4 \& half weeks. Evaluation was done at PNS \& EQ-5D-5L (QoL). Pre and post test analysis was done by use of SPSS version 21 and level of significance was kept p<0.05.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Pain numeric scale
this scale is used to measure the pain 0 means no pain and 10 means worst pain ever
Measured: 4 and half weeks
short form of 36
SF-36 is used to meaure the quality of life. 0 means worst quality of life and higher values towards 100 means best quality of life
Measured: 4 and half weeks
