Background: Nocturnal leg cramps (NLC) are involuntary muscle contractions of the calf muscles, hamstrings, or foot muscles that occur unexpectedly, episodically, and are unpleasant. Night time cramping affects about one-third of adults. Leg cramps can strike anyone at any age, although they are more widespread and often more severe as grow older. The majority of cramps are idiopathic, and the physiological cause behind them is unknown. Muscle cramps appear to be triggered by neuromuscular structures in muscle, tendons, and nerve fibres, according to some writers. Musculoskeletal issues linked to a sedentary lifestyle, as well as job postures, prolonged standing, and the western habit of sitting rather than squatting, have been implicated of generating cramps, particularly NLC. Patients with cramps have a higher risk of peripheral vascular disease than individuals without cramps. Stretching before bedtime can help older persons lessen the frequency and severity of nocturnal leg cramps. Stretching treatments, like as Myofacial Release, can help relieve NLC. Self-Myofacial release (SMFR) is a sort of Myofacial release (MFR) that is accomplished by the person rather than a therapist, and it is usually done with the help of a tool. Self-MFR is a low-cost, easily accessible approach for people to relieve muscle and fascia pain while also maintaining flexibility. Foam rollers and roller massage are two of the most used devices for self-MFR. MFR is used to treat a wide range of musculoskeletal disorders; it is used to treat a wide range of problems, and many types of treatment, such as trigger-point therapy and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, fall under the myofascial umbrella. Aim and Objectives: To study the main impact of Self Myofascial Release (SMFR) to decreasing the duration of pain and improving Quality of Life in patients with NLC. Methodology: In this study total 30 patient with nocturnal leg cramps will receive Self Myofascial Release technique (SMFR), it will be including exercise which will be performed for 4 weeks twice a day and each for 5-10 mins. Discussion: This study is done to find out the effectiveness of Self Myofacial release in individual with nocturnal leg cramps (NLC). Conclusion: Conclusion of the study can be made based on the effect of Self Myofascial Release technique on patient with nocturnal leg cramps.

Background/aim: The increasing use of smartphone in daily life has brought about numerous musculoskeletal problems. Impairments in the neck is the most common when compared to other parts of the body. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of two different manual treatment techniques in two separate groups, i.e., trigger point release and Myofascial release (MFR) on the trigger points (TrPs) in the upper trapezius muscle in smartphone users. Both group received Ultrasound therapy. The smartphone addiction scale -short version was administered to all participants to determine the level of addiction and those who scores were high were included in the study. The set criteria in the study included the pain intensity on the visual analogue scale (VAS) neck disability using the Neck Disability Index and Cervical Range of motion side flexion using cervical goniometer. Subjects and methods: This clinical trial study assessed the outcome measures within and between groups before, after the intervention and a follow up was done after 15 days. The target population were smartphone users between the age group of 18 to 35 years. 106 subjects (48 males, 53 females) participants who had been selected from among the eligible participants of 176 and who had TrPs in their upper trapezius muscle. Results: The effect of Trigger point release and Myofascial release on patients of each groups with TrPs in the upper trapezius muscle resulted in increased cervical lateral flexion (P < 0.001), decreased pain intensity on VAS (P < 0.001) and decreased decrease in Neck disability (P < 0.001) within the groups and between the group there was no significance. Conclusion: Both manual techniques Trigger point release and Myofascial release reduced the symptoms of TrPs in the upper trapezius in both the groups equally, neither technique being superior to the other.

Context : Myofascial release is the gentle manual application of sustained pressure to release fascial restriction. One of the cervical spine pain healing methods is Trigger point therapy with positional release method. Aim: To compare the efficacy of Immediate Effect of Myofascial Release and Positional Release techniques on levator scapulae trigger points in young adults. Method and material: Study involved 30 subjects that were divided into 2 groups. Group A (n=15) Myofascial Release technique and Group B (n=15)Positional Release technique. Results: The data was analysed using statistical method of paired’t’-test between the pre and post interventional study of pain and range of motion. Result showed statistically significant improvement (p<0.05) and visible difference in the post intervention. Discussion and conclusion: From the present study we conclude that Myofascial release is more efficient in reducing pain whereas Positional Release Technique is more efficient in increasing the cervical ROM , both Active lateral flexion and Cervical rotation.

Background: Myofascial syndrome is a chronic condition arising from trigger point activation causing a decrease in neck muscle strength in tailor clothes. Purpose: To determine the different combinations of myofascial release technique with ultrasound and ischemic compression technique combination with ultrasound in increasing neck muscle strength due to myofascial syndrome on the tailor of clothes in saraswati convection guwang gianyar village. Method: This study used an experimental study with pre-test and post-test group design. The sample consisted of 22 people consisting of 11 people in each group. The first group was given myofascial release technique intervention with ultrasound and the second group was given ischemic compression technique with ultrasound. Intervention is given 3x a week for 2 weeks. Sampling technique with random sampling. The strength of neck muscle was measured by sphygmomanometer. Results: Paired Sample T-test test in Group 1 was obtained p= 0,000 (p <0,05) and in Group 2 the result was p = 0,002 (p <0,05) Meaningful differences before and after intervention in each group. The mean difference test of mean values with independent sample t-test after treatment between groups was 0.195mmHg (p> 0.05) which means that there is no difference between the two groups in increasing the strength of neck muscles. Conclusion: There is no difference between a combination of myofascial release technique with ultrasound and a combination of ischemic compression technique with ultrasound in increasing neck muscle strength due to myofascial syndrome in dressmaker. Suggestion: As reference in handling case of myofascial syndrome especially upper trapezius muscle

Abstract Background Disc herniation is one of the factors that causes low back pain (LBP). Objective This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a myofascial release technique on pain and disability in patients with chronic lumbar disc herniation. Method 30 patients with a herniated lumbar disc, divided into 2 groups. One group (n=15) received electrotherapeutic modalities (TENS, pulsed ultrasound, hot packs) in addition to the myofascial release technique (MFR) on trigger points in 9 soft tissue elements. The other group (n=15) received only electrotherapeutic modalities. All patients underwent 10 treatment sessions. In both groups we assessed back and lower extremity pain intensity, functional disability level and trigger point pain threshold before treatment and after 5 and 10 sessions. Results For back pain, the median between-group differences (95% CI) compared to baseline were 2 (1–2) after the 5th session and 2 (1–4) after the 10th session; the difference between the 5th and 10th sessions was 1 (0–2). For functional disability, the mean between-group differences (95% CI) compared to baseline were 5 points (1.8–8.1) after the 5th session and 8.3 points (4.2–12.3) after the 10th session; the difference between the 5th and tenth sessions was 3.34 points (1.02–5.6). For trigger point pain threshold, the mean between-group differences compared to baseline were −1.47 kg/cm2 (−1.7 to − 1.17) after the 5th session and −3.17 (−3.6 to −2.7) after the 10th session; the difference between the 5th and 10th sessions was −1.7 kg/cm2 (−2.04 to −1.3). Conclusion In conclusion, MFR might be an effective treatment for reducing pain and disability in patients with chronic lumbar disc herniation.
