Brief summary
The study will focus on the effects of active tissue release techniques on groin pain, hip range of motion, and functional disability in 2nd trimester of pregnancy. This will be a randomized controlled trial conducted on 30 participants from Prime Care Hospital. Pregnant women in the second trimester aged between 25 to 35 years, who have groin or round ligament pain will be included in this study. A sample of 30 will be divided into 2 groups. Group A will undergo treatment of active release techniques for 10 minutes thrice a week with no home plan of home relaxation exercises. In contrast, Group B will combine treatment of active release technology with home relaxation exercises. Treatment will be given for 4 weeks and pain will be assessed before and after the treatment through (NPRS) scale. Functional disability will be measured before and after the treatment through Quebec scale and Force Disability Scale Questionnaire in both groups.
Detailed description
Groin pain mostly occurs in the first and second trimesters of pregnancy due to round ligament pain because the womb expands and causes stretching of ligaments making it more likely to become strained. The study will be focused on the effects of active tissue release techniques on groin pain, hip range of motion, and functional disability in 2nd trimester of pregnancy. A baseline treatment of ice therapy will be given for 10 minutes to all participants of this study. A sample of 30 will be divided into 2 groups. Group A will undergo treatment of active release techniques for 10 minutes thrice a week with no home plan of home relaxation exercises. In contrast, Group B will combine treatment of active release technology with home relaxation exercises. Treatment will be given for 4 weeks and pain will be assessed before and after the treatment through (NPRS) scale. Functional disability will be measured before and after the treatment through the Quebec scale and Force Disability Scale Questionnaire in both groups. Recorded values will be analyzed for any change using SPSS
Interventions
Active release techniques are soft tissue systems or movement-based techniques. It is used to treat muscles, nerves, fascia, ligaments, and tendons.
OTHERRelaxation exercises
Relaxation exercises include breathing exercises, pelvic floor exercises, and postural exercises. Exercises will be done in a sitting position

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Numeric Pain Rating Scale | up to 4 weeks | The NPRS is a segmented numeric scale in which the respondent selects a whole number (0-10 integers) that best reflects the intensity of his/her pain. The common format is a horizontal bar or line. NPRS is anchored by terms describing pain severity extremes. Changes from Baseline to 4 week. |
| The Quebec questionnaire: | up to 4 weeks | The Quebec questionnaire is a condition-specific questionnaire developed to measure the level of functional disability for patients with groin pain. The original purpose of the questionnaire is to take into account the functional limitations related to pain, to monitor the progress of individual patients and to compare the evolution of groin pain subjects incorporated in rehabilitation programs |
| Goniometer: To measure range of motion: | up to 4 weeks | A goniometer is a device that measures an angle or permits the rotation of an object to a definite position the range of motion is the measurement of movement around a specific joint or body part. |
