Abstract

Chronic pain is a common problem affecting the most of the population. This implicates the use of both conventional and alternative therapies. The main objective of the study is to identify efficacies of conventional as well as combinational therapy among individuals with chronic pain. Total of 150 individualshad involved in the study. Patient data form is used to gatherand record the data, questions are asked it includes, patient demographics, region of pain, severity, duration of pain, medications prescribed, initial pain, severity before therapy were recorded and after one month follow up, again pain score is collected from the patient and also include any alternative medications patients used in the therapy. Out of 150 individuals 40.66% people used conventional therapy and other 59.33% of individuals used combinational therapy. Individuals with chronic pain, were mostly observed in housewives, Middle aged group and sedentary lifestyle people. Individuals are preferring combinational therapy over conventional therapy and they believe that combinational therapy is more effective therapy. The P-value of before and after conventional and combinational therapy was found to be significant (<.001). The mean difference of before and after conventional therapy was found to be 3.508 and before and after combinational therapy was found to be 3.933. Therefore, the mean difference of combinational is higher than compared to conventional therapy. Our study states that compared to conventional therapy, combinational is more effective.
