Objective: To compare the effects of aerobics and core stability exercises for the management of primary dysmenorrhea. Methodology: The study design was quasi-experimental, conducted in Yahya gym, Lahore, from February 2019 to July 2019. The sampling technique employed was non-probability convenient sampling with a sample size of 42 females within 18-30 years who had primary dysmenorrhea. The subjects were assigned into two groups. Group A was treated with aerobic exercises, while Group B was treated with core stability exercises with eight weeks workout plan and the results of three menstrual cycles were recorded. Stretching maneuvers were added as a standard treatment to both groups. Data were collected after 12 weeks and recorded for three menstrual cycles. Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) was used to measure pain intensity. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS v.25. Results: Mean age of group A vs. group B participants was 25.23 ±2.64 vs. 21.38±3.41 years respectively. Mean BMI score of group A participants was 21.38±2.14 while for group B participants mean BMI score was 21.65±1.99 Kg/m2. Conclusion: This study concludes that both aerobic exercises and core stability exercises are effective to reduce the intensity of pain in primary dysmenorrhea. However aerobic exercises showed relatively better results in term of mean difference of NPRS score across both groups. Keywords: Menstruation, Primary dysmenorrhea, Exercise, Pain.

Background: Propranolol and flunarizine have proven to be useful tools in migraine prophylaxis. This trial aims the comparison of the efficacy of flunarizine, flunarizine and placebo and flunarizine and panchgavya ghrit in migraine prophylaxis.Methods: The present study was a prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded-endpoint trial. Patients with chronic migraine were randomized (1:1:1) to flunarizine and flunarizine and placebo and flunarizine and panchgavya ghrit in three treatment groups. The study was carried out in outdoor patients in the department of Psychiatry, T.S. Mishra Medical College and Hospital, Lucknow and K.G.M.U, Ayush Department, Lucknow after clearance from Institutional Ethical Committee. Data was analysed using SPSS software.Results: The prevalence of migraine was found to be higher in the age group greater than 30 years and females. Overall there was more reduction in CGI scores in flunarizine with panchgavya ghrit and the other two groups equally at the end of 4, 6 8 and 10 weeks. Decrease in MIDAS score was observed after the therapy. Clinical Global Impression rating scale employed revealed that to start with subjects scored 7 which stands for pathology interfering in many life functions which reduced drastically in Group C as compared to Group B and Group A in descending order. Pain scales namely VAS (visual analogue scale), NPRS (Numeric Pain Rating Scale), VRS (verbal rating scale) when employed denoted there was decreased migraine frequency, decreased perception of pain, less intake of abortive medication consumed by subjects implying there were reduction in number of migraine days and there was decrease in the abortive medications taken for the same. Group C scored better on pain scales followed by Group B and Group A. Lower proportion of individuals in group C had Behavioural Toxicity and Neurological Side effects as compared to Group A and B.Conclusions: Panch gavya ghrit when administered along with flunarizine was more efficacious and safe when compared with other two groups. However large multicentric RCTs of long duration and involving more number of subjects are required to ascertain these facts.

Background: There is evidence regarding beneficial use of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) on post Lower Segment Caesarean Section (LSCS) incision pain. However, efficacy of different types of TENS following C section pain has not yet been explored adequately.Methods: 96 women who had recently undergone LSCS were included for the study. The subjects were in the age group of 20 to 40 years (25.84±3.96); having pain intensity 4 or more on Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS). They were divided into three groups by random allocation method; namely Group A: Acupuncture (Low/Motor) TENS, Group B: Conventional (High/Sensory) TENS and Group C: Control group. Group A and B received specific type of TENS twice a day for 15 minutes. Control group C did not receive any TENS intervention. All subjects received standard post-operative medications and physiotherapy. Pain intensity was recorded on NPRS pre and post intervention.Results: Both Acupuncture TENS and Conventional TENS significantly decreased post-operative pain intensity as compared to control group (p value <0.0001).Conclusions: Both, acupuncture and conventional TENS are equally effective in reducing post LSCS incision pain at a strong and non-painful intensity.

Background: Preemptive analgesia, involves the introduction of an analgesic regimen before the onset of noxious stimuli, with the goal of preventing sensitization of the nervous system to subsequent stimuli that could amplify pain.Methods: To determine the efficacy and safety of Lornoxicam when administered preemptively by using Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating scale. The patients undergoing abdominal surgery were randomly categorized into group A and B of 25 each. Group A- Received Lornoxicam 8mg (1ml) one hour before surgery. Group B- Not received any analgesic before surgery. Primary measurement of the efficacy was done by using Wong-Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale at 2, 4, 8, 12 and 24 hour. All parameters were analyzed by using student t test.Results: Surgeries which were included in the study are hernia repair, open appendectomy, laparoscopic (appendectomy, cholecystectomy). Reduction in pain scores at 12th hourly and 24th hourly pain scores (<0.05) was significant. Tramadol usage decreased significantly with laparoscopic surgeries.Conclusions: In this study we could demonstrate that lornoxicam when used preemptively reduces the pain score slightly and reduces the requirement of post-operative analgesics significantly.

Introduction. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders. Although lisdexamfetamine dimesylate (LDX) offers a treatment alternative, clinical evidence of LDX for ADHD has not been explored in Latin American pediatric population. Objective. To evaluate the LDX response in Mexican pediatric patients with ADHD. Method. We designed a quasi-experimental, uncontrolled before and after study to evaluate the LDX response in patients with severe ADHD. We established a diagnosis of ADHD according to DSM-5 criteria. We formed three groups: without previous treatment (group A), in treatment with stimulant drugs (group B) or in treatment with non-stimulant drugs (group C). Prior to the start of the study, letters of consent and informed consent were signed. We evaluated the effect of LDX based on the difference between ADHD-RS scores at the beginning and after six months. Results. We recruited a total of 144 patients (group A: 48 patients, group B: 57 patients, group C: 39 patients). All the groups showed a significant decrease in the mean score of ADHD-RS (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Rating Scale) at six months (group A 37.57 vs. 22.34, p

Background Dysmenorrhea is defined as the cramping pain accompanying menstruation. It is further classified into two types based on pathophysiology write one line about the types Primary dysmennorhea is widely prevalent in the general population. More than 50% of teenagers and 30-50% of menstruating women suffer from varying symptoms, such as, uterine cramps, nausea,backache, diarrhoea, giddiness, syncope and fainting. (1). Apart from pharmacological treatment physical exercises have been suggested as non pharmacological treatment. It is seen that exercises have analgesic effect in a non specific way. Various forms of exercise (for.eg. Yoga and physiotherapy) have shown different results in pain relief and premenstrual syndrome. Exercise have been shown as preventive measures as well. K taping is considered as an adjunct to physiotherapy treatment. (1) OBJECTIVES: 1. To assess the effectiveness of yoga poses along with k-taping in primary dysmenorrhea. 2. To assess the effectiveness of physiotherapy exercises along with k-taping in primary dysmenorrhea. 3. To compare the effectiveness of yoga poses v/s physiotherapy exercises along with kinesio taping (KT) in primary dysmenorrhea MATERIALS AND METHODOLOGY: This was a quasi experimental study that included 30 female participants who were suffering from dysmenorrhea. The subjects were randomly divided in to 2 groups; subjects in group A were given physiotherapy exercises and Kinesiotaping and group B were given yoga postures. These interventions were given on the first and second day of menstruation. RESULT AND CONCLUSION: The study concludes that both yogic postures and physiotherapy exercises helped in immediate reduction of symptoms in primary dysmennorhea. However, none of the treatment was considered superior.

Background: Mechanical neck pain (MNP) is the most common type of pain confined in the posterior aspect of neck, also known as nonspecific or simple neck pain affecting two thirds of the general population at some time in their lives. Prevalence: Neck pain is most common muscular skeletal condition affecting up to 70% of individual and 5% to 10% of adults having a disabling neck pain problem. Neck pain is more common in women than men. The prevalence of neck pain in the general population has been reported to be 15% for men and 23% for women. Objectives of the Study: To find out the effect of Post Isometric Relaxation (PIR) along with Deep Neck Flexor (DNF) exercises in reducing pain and disability and improving ROM in patient with sub-acute mechanical neck pain. To find out the effect of Deep Neck Flexor exercise alone in reducing pain and disability and improving ROM in patient with sub-acute mechanical neck pain. To compare whether Post Isometric Relaxation (PIR) along with Deep Neck Flexor exercises or Deep Neck Flexor exercises alone are effective in reducing pain and disability and improving ROM in patient with sub-acute mechanical neck pain Methods: Study included 30 patients with lateral epicondylitis between ages 30-50 years. The subjects were randomly divided into 2 groups: Group-A and Group-B. Group A (n = 15) was treated using Cyriax physiotherapy, group B (n = 15) was treated with movement with mobilization. Patients were treated for 3 times a week for 4 weeks. Outcome measures are NPRS (Numeric Pain Rating Scale) and DASH (The Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand). Results: The results of the study indicate that there were highly statistically significant improvement in functional disability on NDI, cervical lateral flexion(Right & Left), rotation (Right & Left) ROM and reduction in pain on VAS in Group-A as compared to Group-B. There was no significant difference observed when the groups were compared for cervical flexion and extension ROM. Conclusion: From the result it is concluded that Post isometric relaxation with DNF exercise is effective in mechanical neck pain. Key words: Mechanical neck pain (MNP), Post Isometric Relaxation (PIR), Deep Neck Flexor (DNF) exercise.

Objective:- To determine the surgical approach most suited in our setup and evaluate the results based on the functional and cosmetic outcome especially in the range of motion,the subsequent defromity, if any, and the carrying angle. Setting Orthopaedic surgery, Nishtar Hospital, Multan. Duration Two years, Study design Quasi experimental type of study. Material & Methods Thirty patients. Sampling technique Non-probability technique. Results The age of the patients included in our study ranged from 4-10 years with a mean age of 5.93 years in group A and 6.66 years in group B. Out of 30 patients in group-A and 11 (73.3%) males and 4(26.6%) in group B had fracture on right side where as 12(80%) in group-A and 11(73.3%) in group-B got injured due to fall from height. One (6.66%) patients from group-A and B had superficial wound infection. Pin tract infection was found in 1(6.66%) in group A and 2(13.33%) patients in group-B. Conclusion: This technique was easy to perform and proved to be safe, although hospitalization time was minimum in both groups. So we recommend medial approach for open reduction and internal fixation of all displaced supra-condylar fractures of humerus in children with appropriate indications.
