"THE EFFECTS OF LOW LEVEL LASER THERAPY VERSUS STRAIN/COUNTER STRAIN TECHNIQUE IN ACUTE SOFT TISSUE INJURIES"
A study testing physical therapy in people with Hamstring Injury and Strain Counter Strain, run by Isra University at 1 site in Pakistan.
Trial summary
Muscle strain injuries are common in sports but are often misdiagnosed and maltreated. Their significance is often underestimated because most athletes can continue their daily activities soon after the injury. Read more about this study

About this study
Muscle strain injuries are common in sports but are often misdiagnosed and maltreated.
Their significance is often underestimated because most athletes can continue their daily activities soon after the injury. Proximal hamstrings strains have attracted greater attention because they have a high incidence which is approximately 42%.
Read the detailed description
it will be randomized control trial with 60 patients with Acute hamstring Injuries divided into 3 groups. One group will be given Laser therapy, 2nd will be given Strain/Counter Strain technique and 3rd will be given both the techniques in combination This study will be conducted in Rehabilitation setup of Pakistan Hockey Federation Lahore, and Institute of Orthopedics and Rehabilitation Center Garden Town Lahore. Non probability Convenience Sampling technique will be utilized

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Muscle strain injuries are common in sports but are often misdiagnosed and maltreated.
Their significance is often underestimated because most athletes can continue their daily activities soon after the injury. Proximal hamstrings strains have attracted greater attention because they have a high incidence which is approximately 42%.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
visual analogue scale (time frame: 5 days). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Jan 2019.
