Background: The muscles that sustain body posture and the neck posture both have an impact on the cervical muscle, which is also frequently injured. The upper trapezius muscle is most frequently affected by trigger points, which is a common and prevalent condition. Aim: To assess the effectiveness of ELDOA exercises at the cervical spine and treating trigger points in the trapezius and levator scapulae. Methodology: The Ibn-e-Siena Hospital and Research Institute in Multan conducted a quasi-study. The participants were divided into two groups using a coin flip as a sampling method with the study sample size of 26. The Goniometer, Numeric Pain Rating Scale and Neck Disability Index were used to collect data from patients between the ages of 18 and 40. Results: An independent t-test was applied. Mean age ranged from 24.70±5.75 in the experiment group and 25.18±5.61 in the control group. The patients have radiated pain in control group was 3 (30%), trapezius trigger point7(70%) andlevator scapulae 3(30%) while in experimental group, pain radiating 6(60%), trapezius trigger point6(60%) and levator scapulae 4(40%). The post-results data revealed that the p values for the NPRS, Algometry and NDI significant differences were 0.025, 0.025, and 0.00, respectively. Conclusion: The results of the current investigation, the ELDOA approach considerably reduced discomfort, cervical ranges, and neck impairment brought on by trigger points.

“…Another study conducted on the effects of modified ELDOA and ELDOA on cervical radiculopathy reported that both interventions were effective in improving posture and disabilities; however, no significant difference was found. [23] Brück et al [36] conducted a clinical trial in 2021 to compare the effects of fascial therapy and manual therapy among patients of chronic neck pain. In the past literature fascia targeted therapy grabs the attention of physiotherapists as it has beneficial effects on chronic neck pain.…”

“…[19,21] A number of conditions have been treated with ELDOA, including prolapsed intervertebral discs, piriformis syndrome, chronic low back pain, cervical radiculopathy, active trigger points, and forward head posture. [21][22][23][24][25] This syndrome has become a new health concern worldwide and affects the huge population. Adolescent smartphone users increase day by day and have a lot of musculoskeletal conditions.…”

Background: Adolescent smartphone users have developed a variety of musculoskeletal conditions due to their use of smartphones. ELDOA (Elongation longitudinaux avec decoaption osteo-articulaire) is based on maximizing facial and spinal stretching by assuming specific posture for 1 minute and post facilitation stretching is also a type of muscle energy technique that is used for chronically shortened or tight muscles. This aimed to compare the effects of post-facilitation stretching technique and ELDOA on neck pain and functional disability in mobile users experiencing Text neck syndrome during COVID-19. Methods: This single-blinded randomized control trial with a parallel group design was conducted at the Department of Physiotherapy Safi Hospital (Faisalabad, Pakistan) from September 2021 to April 2022. Forty smartphone users between the ages of 18 and 35 who had a Neck Disability Index score of >10 due to neck pain without unilateral arm symptoms participated in the study. Of the 40 participants, twenty were randomly assigned to the ELDOA group and twenty were assigned to the post facilitation stretching group, and each group received 3 weekly sessions of treatment for 6 weeks. The Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), Neck Disability Index (NDI), and Smartphone Addiction Scale (SAS) were used to measure pain intensity, functional disability, and smartphone addiction at baseline and after 18 sessions of treatment. SPSS version 22 was used to enter and analyze the data. To find comparisons between groups an independent sample t test was used, and a paired sample t test was used to find the difference within each group. Results: Post-treatment values showed statistically significant difference between groups. ELDOA group showed greater improvement in pain ( P < .03) with 95% CI [−1.33, −0.068] and functional disability ( P < .05) with 95% CI [−4.44, 0.143] at 6th week. There was no statistically significant difference ( P = .35) with 95% CI [−28.6, 10.4] between the two groups regarding smartphone addiction. The NPRS, NDI, SAS scores were significantly different within each group with P < .05. Conclusion: The study concluded that ELDOA method and post-facilitation stretching both were effective in treating neck pain and functional disability. However, ELDOA method was superior to post-facilitation stretching effects on neck pain and functional disability among patients with text neck syndrome.

BACKGROUND: Piriformis syndrome (PS) manifests as a neuromuscular condition characterized by discomfort in the hip and buttock regions, potentially leading to radiating pain in the lower back and thigh. A variety of anomalies, including the piriformis muscle's shortening, spasm, hypertrophy, or inflammation, or structural differences in the muscle that cause the sciatic nerve to be compressed, can cause the disorder. The incidence rate of PS among individuals experiencing low back pain ranges from 5% to 36%. This study aims to explore the impact of ELDOA (Elongation Longitudinaux avec Decoaptation Osteo-Articulaire) and the Nerve Flossing Technique on alleviating pain and enhancing flexibility in individuals with piriformis syndrome. METHOD: Thirty patients diagnosed with piriformis syndrome will be randomly assigned to two groups: Group A, consisting of 15 individuals, will undergo the ELDOA technique, while Group B, also comprising 15 participants, will receive the Nerve Flossing Technique. Additionally, both groups will be administered a conventional treatment protocol. The treatment sessions will be conducted three times a week over a period of four weeks. Pain levels and flexibility will be evaluated using the Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) and the piriformis length test at the commencement of the study and at the conclusion of the four-week intervention. RESULT:A statistically significant (p<0.05) effect was indicated by both within group and between group analysis for all the outcome measures following the intervention CONCLUSION: The study's outcomes indicate that both the ELDOA and Nerve Flossing Technique (NFT) are efficacious in ameliorating pain and enhancing flexibility in individuals with piriformis syndrome. However, the analysis suggests that NFT exhibits a superior effectiveness in improving both pain levels and flexibility compared to ELDOA in the context of piriformis syndrome.
