Abstract

Musculoskeletal Disorders are a persistent and a pervasive health problem which impose an enormous burden on the society. Conventional cold application using ice cap serves as one of the major treatment modality in reducing pain among these patients. Conventional cold application also have certain demerits as well. So, the Oxygen compressed cold application which is designed and invented by the investigator. Since,itis theoxygen compressed cold application, to check the usability/utility as effect ofConventional cold application, this study was used to compare the effectiveness ofconventional cold application vs oxygen compressed cold . Result of this study will help to decide whichever method is useful and to implement user-friendly in thehospital. Aims: To assess the level of pain among patients with musculoskeletal disordersduring pre-test and post –test. To evaluate the effectiveness of oxygen compressed cold application on pain among patients with musculoskeletal disorders.To associate the level of pain among patients with musculoskeletal disorders with selected demographic variables. Methods:Quantitative research approach was adopted in this study. A total subjects who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were selected for the study using Randomized control trail (RCT). The study setting were selected by purposive sampling technique. Demographic variables were collected using interview schedule. Pain outcome of the patients withmusculoskeletal disorders was assessed using Numeric pain intensity scale. Pre test was done through numeric pain intensity scale. Conventional cold application using ice cap was given, Oxygen compressed cold application was given.Post test was done through numeric pain intensity scaleusing after a period of 30minutes. Results: The result shows thatmusculoskeletal painto assess the effectiveness of Oxygen compressed cold application on pain among patients with musculoskeletal disorders. Conclusion: The main aim of the study to assess the effectiveness of Oxygen compressed cold application on pain among patients with musculoskeletal disorders. Thus, it was concluded Oxygen compressed cold application effective on pain among patients with musculoskeletal disorders.
