Abstract

Introduction: This study compares the effectiveness of two therapeutic interventions in patients with upper trapezius myofascial pain syndrome: Group A (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Training) and Group B (Conventional Functional Training). A total of 30 participants were divided equally into both groups. The study evaluated demographic factors, pain reduction, functional improvement, and range of motion (ROM) over the course of treatment. Purpose of the Study: To compare the effectiveness of proprioceptive exercise with neuromuscular training versus conventional training with functional training in subjects with osteoarthritis of the knee. Methodology: A total of 30 subjects will be taken for the study by convenience sampling method. Subjects will be divided into 2 groups, with 15 subjects in each group. Group A will receive proprioceptive exercise with neuromuscular training exercises. Group B will receive conventional training with functional training exercises. Both groups received their respective intervention for a duration of six weeks, with pre and post treatment evaluations conducted. Conclusion: These findings suggest that clinicians can utilize either approach, depending on patient preferences or specific clinical circumstances, as both interventions appear to provide comparable outcomes in pain relief, functional enhancement, and range of motion improvement.
