3.3.1 Primary and secondary outcomes
Functional disability, pain
The time and group (4 × 2) linear mixed model (LMM) of primary variable (pain intensity—VAS) reports statistically significant difference (p<0.001) between active and sham groups at baseline, 4 weeks, 8 weeks and at 6 months follow up. The post intervention at 4 weeks 1.6 (CI 95% 0.97 to 2.22) shows improvement in the active group than sham group. The similar effects have been noted after 8 weeks and at 6 months 2.0 (CI 95% 1.66 to 2.33) follow up. The scores show significant changes (p<0.001) in the active group than sham group which is presented in The time and group (4 × 2) linear mixed model (LMM) of other variables (MRI T2 axial and coronal section, Ultrasound, Functional disability and Handgrip strength) report statistically significant difference (p = 0.001) between group A and group B at baseline, 4 weeks, 8 weeks and at 6 months follow up. The post intervention measure of percentage of injury through MRI and US image reports statistical change (p = 0.001) at 4 weeks’ duration. The similar effects were noted after 8 weeks and at 6 months follow up measurement, which is shown in
