Abstract :
The joint pain is one of the major problems in
India .they are so many reasons to develop joint pain. In
aging disorder and nutritional deficiency like
osteoporosis. National Arthritis Foundation estimates
that nearly 50 million people currently suffer from some
form of arthritis, and that figure is expected to grow to
68 million by the year 2030. Sedentary lifestyles,
expanding waistlines, and the aging of body contribute to
the increase in arthritis and the joint pain associated
with arthritis.1
Aim: The present study was aimed to evaluate the
effectiveness of moist heat therapy on relieving joint
pain among arthritis.
Materials and Methods: The purposive sample technique
was used in the study. The sample size consists of N = 50,
and a quasi-experimental design was selected to carry
out the present study. Data was analyzed by using
inferential statistics in terms of mean median range and
by distribution, chi-square test for association.
Results: Percentage distribution of study subjects
according to their Age, it is observed that maximum no.
of study subjects 18(36%) were in the age group 35-45
and minimum no. of respondents 9(18%) were in the age
group 56-65.The Pre-Intervention Pain score among the
study subjects.it was clear that out of 50 , 19(38%) of the
study subject had mild pain and sever pain in each
respectively and very few 12(24%)of them had moderate
painit was clear that out of 50 , 19(38%) of the study
subject had mild pain and sever pain in each respectively
and very few 12(24%)of them had moderate pain. And
the Post-Intervention Pain score among the study
subjects.it was observed that after moist heat therapy,
maximum 24(48%) of had no pain and 19 (38%) of then
had mild pain score. Very few 7(14%) had Moderate
pain. There were no study subject with severe pain.
Conclusion: The main aim of the study was to assess the
effect of moist heat on joint pain among arthritis Patient
in a selected BLDE’S Hospital. The intervention was
given to the arthritis patients for 7 days after that
continuous pain scale monitoring.
