An interventional study of muscle energy technique and conventional selected physical therapy in Meralgia Paresthetica and Femoral Neuropathy, sponsored by October 6 University. Completed at 1 site in Egypt. Open to female participants aged 25 Years to 40 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2021-02-10.
Sponsored by October 6 University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
To investigate the effect of muscle energy technique on Femoral meralgia paraesthesia in a postpartum female. BACKGROUND: meralgia paraesthesia is one of the serious disorders in the postpartum female which results in pain and less physical activities.
.........HYPOTHESES:
This study hypothesized that:
muscle energy technique will have a significant effect on Femoral meralgia paraesthesia in postpartum female
Thirty meralgia paraesthesia postpartum females will participate in this study.
The patients will randomly be divided into two equal groups; the control group received the conventional selected exercise program and the study group received the same exercise training program in addition to muscle energy technique, three times per week for four weeks.
The evaluation methods by Femoral nerve conduction velocity will be measured via the Neuropack S1 MEB9004 EMG device before the exercise program and after finishing the exercise program, and also the Pelvic compression test and Pain numeric rating scale
Exclusion Criteria:
received the conventional selected exercise program in addition to muscle energy technique
Other: muscle energy technique · Other: conventional selected physical therapy
received the conventional selected exercise program
Other: conventional selected physical therapy
the patient was supine and the therapist fix the lower limb of the affected side then ask the patient to perform isometric contraction for abductors maintained for 3-5 seconds, then the patient was instructed to stop, exhale and relax then the therapist perform further adducted the patient's knee of the affected side as a stretching exercise for Three to five repetitions of these directions were performed.
1. life style modification 2. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) 3. Flexibility stretching exercises to the hip flexors
Femoral nerve conduction latency
Femoral nerve conduction latency measured via the Neuropack S1 MEB9004 EMG device
Time frame: 4 weeks
Pelvic compression test
the therapist applied a downward compression force to the pelvis and maintained a pressure for 45 seconds. If the patients reported an alleviation of symptoms the test is considered positive
Time frame: four weeks
Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS)
it includes 11-point numeric scale ranges from no pain with score of "0" to worst pain imaginable with score of "10"
Time frame: four weeks
Plan to share: No
