ABSTRACT
Aim: To study the effect of circuit training along with music therapy to relieve pain in post-stroke patients.
Background: Although the majority of prior epidemiological studies have often included small cohorts of patients with very short-term follow-up, chronic pain syndromes are reported to be common following stroke. In this study, circuit training along with music therapy was tested in post stroke patients in relieving chronic pain syndrome.
Procedure: Total 50 patients were included in the study according to the inclusion & exclusion criteria. They were recruited using convenient sampling method. A Pre-post analysis of chronic pain was conducted using a standardized chronic pain grade questionnaire. The duration of the intervention 5 days a week for 4 weeks. The data was analysed using paired t test using instat software.
Results: The outcome measure reveals reduction in overall pain. Circuit training along with music therapy has been shown to be effective in reducing chronic pain in post stroke patients with p value <0.05.
Conclusion: Circuit training along with music therapy has shown to relieve chronic pain in post stroke patients.
Keywords: Chronic pain syndrome, Circuit training, Music Therapy.
