Abstract
Pain is a complex, multidimensional phenomenon. Everyone has experienced some Types or degrees of pain. A comparative study to assess the effectiveness of the hot application and castor oil application in clients with joint. The study was conducted in selected old age homes. A sample of 50 old age people was selected using Non probability purposive sampling technique and then randomly assigned the samples in Experimental group (hot application) and Experimental group (castor oil application). The pre-test pain score was taken before using a hot application and Castor oil application on the first day interaction on both different groups. Following the pre-test subjects randomly apply Hot application and Castor oil application for a period of seven days once a day. The post-test pain score measured on the seventh day of interaction using Wong- Baker FACES rating scale. Wilcoxon test was used, In order to assess the comparison between hot application and castor oil application group on the level of pain in clients with joint pain.It shows that there is significant difference between Pain score (first day of interaction) and Pain score (seventh day of interaction) mean score (W=4.506) of experimental group(Hot application). This indicates that hot application is effective in reducing pain level. In experimental group (Castor oil application) significant difference between Pain score (first day of interaction) and Pain score (seventh day of interaction) mean score (W=4.443). This indicates that castor oil application is effective in reducing pain level. The ?U? test value of both experimental group is (u =190) indicates that there is significant difference between pre-test and post-test pain score of both experimental groups. So the results shows that castor oil application (u=3.20) is more effective than the hot application (u=2.64) in reducing pain level (3.20>2.64).
