Effect of Tens Vs Surge Faradic Current with Corrective Exercises on Functional Outcome in Subjects with Trapezitis

Materials and Methodology: The study was conducted on subjects with trapezitis with the age group 20 -40 years and who were clinically diagnosed. A total of 30 subjects were selected according to inclusion criteria. They were selected according to a convenient random sampling method. They were divided into two groups each containing 15 subjects. Group A was given TENS with corrective exercises and group B was given surge faradic current with corrective exercises. The pretreatment assessment was taken including visual analogue scale for pain score, ranges measurement by goniometer, and neck disability index scoring. Protocol was given for two weeks. At the end of the two-week protocol, the post-treatment assessment was taken again. Paired T-test was used to analyse the group statistical analysis and unpaired t-test for between the group statistical analysis and the result was concluded. Result: Paired t-test was used to analyse the comparison between surge faradic and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation on subjects with trapezitis. There was significant result seen in group A. There was a significant difference in outcome variables in VAS, ROM, and NDI. Conclusion: Study concluded that subjects who were treated with TENS and corrective exercises had significant improvement clinically and statistically and improvement in the visual analogue scale, range of motion, and neck disability index.
