Abstract Background: Tension type headache is claimed to be one of top ten disabling conditions in the world. The purpose of the study was to determine the effects of muscle energy technique on pain, range of motion at cervical spine and disability related to tension type headache. Methods: A randomized control trial was conducted on 48 participants of both genders whose age was 18 to 40 years with complain of tension type at Rehabilitation and Injury Management Department of Medcare International Hospital Gujranwala, from July to December 2019. Participants were randomly selected and allocated into two groups (experimental and control group). The experimental group received both muscle energy technique and myofascial release technique on trapezius and sternocleidomastoid of both sides. The intervention was applied for 6 weeks (3 sessions per week). Assessments were done at baseline, 4th week and 6th week. Numeric pain rating scale (NPRS), Headache disability inventory (HDI), headache impact test (HIT) and cervical range of motion with the help of Inclinometer were tools for assessment. Data analysis was done using SPSS (version 21). Results: The mean age of experimental group was 26.5±5.42 and control group was 27.7±5.70. The experimental group was shown significant improvement in terms of pain and flexion and side flexion range of motion with p-value ≤0.05. Conclusion: It is concluded that muscle energy technique is effective treatment for tension type headache; it is associated to decreased range of motion at cervical spine and disability related to TTH.

ABSTRAK Latar Belakang: Non-spesific neck pain merupakan nyeri leher yang tidak beradiasi ke lengan atau upper extremitas, dimana nyeri terjadi pada area leher, occipital, dan punggung bagian atas. Pada umumnya nyeri muncul pada akhir keterbatasan ekstensi, lateral fleksi, rotasi, dan fleksi. Metode: Penelitian ini adalah penelitian quasi eksperimen dengan desain randomized control group pre test – post test, bertujuan untuk mengetahui efek penambahan Thoracic Manipulation pada intervensi Ultrasound dan Muscle Energy Technique terhadap peningkatan LGS cervical pada penderita non-spesific neck pain. Sampel penelitian adalah mahasiswa jurusan fisioterapi yang mengeluh non-spesific neck pain (sesuai dengan kriteria inklusi), dan diperoleh jumlah sampel sebanyak 24 orang yang dibagi secara acak ke dalam 2 kelompok. Alat ukur yang digunakan adalah inclinometer. Hasil: Berdasarkan analisis uji paired sample t pada kelompok kontrol dan perlakuan diperoleh nilai p < 0,05 untuk LGS ekstensi, lateral fleksi, dan rotasi cervical, yang berarti bahwa kelompok kontrol (Ultrasound dan Muscle Energy Technique) dan kelompok perlakuan (Ultrasound, Muscle Energy Technique dan Thoracic Manipulation) dapat memberikan peningkatan LGS cervical yang signifikan. Berdasarkan uji independen sample t, diperoleh nilai p > 0,05 untuk LGS ekstensi, lateral fleksi, dan rotasi cervical, yang berarti tidak ada perbedaan yang signifikan antara Ultrasound, Muscle Energy Technique, Thoracic Manipulation dan Ultrasound, Muscle Energy Technique terhadap peningkatan LGS cervical. Kesimpulan: Kesimpulan penelitian ini adalah penambahan Thoracic Manipulation pada intervensi Ultrasound dan Muscle Energy Technique tidak lebih efektif secara signifikan terhadap peningkatan LGS cervical pada penderita non-spesific neck pain. Kata Kunci : Thoracic Manipulation, LGS Cervical, Non-Spesific Neck Pain

Objective: To compare the efficacy of oral Labetalol versus oral Nifedipine for the treatment of postpartum hypertension. Methods: A prospective randomized controlled trial with parallel assignment was conducted in the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Dow University of Health Sciences Karachi, Pakistan, 124 patients with post partum hypertension were selected and randomized into two groups with 62 patients receiving Labetalol and 62 receiving long acting nifedipine. Initial blood pressures were recorded, and the respective drug was administered. Dose adjustments were performed in the initial 24 hours. The outcome was measured in the form of drug efficacy by lowering of systolic blood pressure less than 140mm of Hg and diastolic less than 90mm of Hg up to 48 hours after starting treatment. Data was entered and analyzed through SPSS version 20. Results: Our study randomized 62 women to oral labetalol and 62 women to oral long acting nifedipine. The time required to achieve blood pressure control was 35.6±2.8 hours in labetalol group and 30.4±1.9 hours in nifedipine group (p=0.04).length of hospital stay, need of additional antihypertensive medications were same in both groups. Minor side effects were observed more in nifedipine group. Conclusion: We conclude that both oral labetalol and oral long acting nifedipine are effective and well tolerated interventions for the management of post-partum hypertension. However we found Nifidipine more effective in the management of postpartum hypertension. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.35.5.812 How to cite this:Ainuddin J, Javed F, Kazi S.
