Summary
This clinical trial compares the effects of Strain Counterstrain technique versus Graston Technique on pain and range of motion in patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome. Adults with patellofemoral pain syndrome were included in this study. A total of 60 participants were divided into two groups with 30 patients in each group. One group received Strain Counterstrain technique and the other group received Graston Technique. Pain was assessed using the Kujala Scoring System and functional status was measured using a substructural questionnaire. Range of motion was also evaluated before and after treatment. The main goal of this study is to determine which technique is more effective in reducing pain and improving knee function in patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome.
