To Compare The Effectiveness On Myofascial Trigger Points Of Dry Cupping Verses The Myofascial Release Technique On Heel Pain In Patient With Plantar Fasciitis.

Abstract

Background: Plantar Fasciitis is a common cause of heel pain, affecting a significant portion of the population. Dry cupping and Myofascial release technique have been used as conservative treatments for managing plantar fasciitis pain by targeting myofascial trigger points.

Materials and Methods:This randomized controlled trial aimed to compare the effectiveness of dry cupping verses myofscial release technique on pain in patient with plantar fasciitis. Forty patients randomly allocated into two groups. Group A received dry cupping on myofascial trigger points,while Group B received the myofascial release technique.

Results: After the intervention both groups significant reduction in pain. The Dry cupping group demonstrated slightly better improvement in pain reduction, though these differences were statistically significant.

Conclusion: The study conclude that supervised exercise program for 1 month / 12 weeks along with Dry cupping and MFR. Research shows that both DC and MFR combined with a supervised exercised program equally effective in reducing pain improving Function in patients with plantar fasciitis . But statistical study finding the support the addition of dry cupping ina multifaceted approach to the management of plantar fasciitis. The ability to individualize based on patient preferences and clinical condition increases the chances of successful rehabilitation and long term management of plantar fasciitis.

Clinical Implication:The finding of the study have important implication for clinical practice , giving both dry cupping and MFR technique are equally effective  , clinician have a flexibility to choose modality on patient preferences clinical Indication and logistic consideration .
