Effect of pulsed mode Phonophoresis in relieving Inflammation and Pain in Supraspinatus tendinitis
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this study was to find the significance of pulsed mode ultrasound in reducing inflammation & pain by using Ketoprofen as couplant. Methods: 20 subjects presenting with supraspinatus tendinitis, aged 25-35years old, participated in this Study. Subjects were divided randomly into 2 groups. Group A = pulsed mode of ultrasound (1.0 w/cm2 for 4 minutes) with aqueous gel as couplant. Group B = pulsed mode of ultrasound (1.0 w/cm2 for 4 minutes) with ketoprofen as couplant.13 Visual Analogue Scale(VAS) and Range of Motion(ROM) is assessed pre treatment and immediately post treatment. Result: The p value of VAS (post treatment) and ROM (post treatment) in phonophoresis pulsed mode pvalue< 0.05 than pulsed mode aqueous gel. Conclusion: Pulsed mode of ultrasound along with ketoprofen as couplant shows better results compared to pulsed mode when aqueous gel is used as the couplant
