Brief Summary:
Study focuses on comparing the effects of manual scar mobilization and myofascial cupping techniques on the outcomes of pain physical characteristics and appearance of cesarean scars The study aims to contribute valuable insights into tailored interventions for improving cesarean scars The randomized clinical trial will involve 52 participants primigravida women aged 20 to 40 with completely healed but painful cesarean scars Excluding those with previous scar therapy or infectious scars the participants will be divided into two groups with Group A receiving manual scar mobilization therapy and Group B receiving myofascial cupping therapy both administered twice a week for four weeks Pain assessment will be conducted using a numeric pain rating scale NPRS while physical characteristics and appearance will be evaluated using the Manchester Scar Scale for cesarean scars MSS The data collected will be analyzed using SPSS version 29
Detailed Description:
A cesarean is a surgical procedure used to deliver a baby through an incision in the mothers abdomen and uterus Manual scar mobilization and myofascial cupping techniques are some of the beneficial techniques to treat the scar The research aims to understand the comparative effects of both techniques to know the potential benefits of these techniques on the outcome of pain physical characteristics and appearance of the cesarean scar This study contributes valuable insights into comparing tailored interventions for improving the cesarean scar This will be a randomized clinical trial conducted on 52 participants Data will be collected from KulsoomShoukat Medical Complex Faisalabad by using a non-probability convenience sampling technique Primigravida women aged from 20 to 40 who have 6 months post cesarean completely healed but painful scars and who havent undergone any scar therapy before will be included in the study On the contrary participants with any previous scar therapy or having infectious scars will be excluded from the study A sample of 48 will be divided into 2 groups through random allocation Group A will undergo manual scar mobilization therapy for 15 minutes on a cesarean scar twice a week Group B will receive myofascial cupping therapy for 15 minutes twice a week Treatment in both groups will be given for 4 weeks and pain will be assessed before 4 weeks and then after 4 weeks by a numeric pain rating scale NPRS Physical characteristics and appearance will be assessed by the Manchester Scar Scale for cesarean scar MSS in both groups pre and post-intervention Data will be analyzed using SPSS version 29
