Abstract
Pain problems represent difficult task for every therapist and therapy of pain without drugs become more and more important everyday for pain controls without drugs, electric current and use of water played an important role. This led to the formulation of this study with its sole purpose of comparing the effectivity of hot moist pack and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation in treating acute musculoskeletal pain and be able to look for a more effective reliever of acute pain. this was formulated by dividing patients into two sets, all with the PT impression of acute musculoskeletal pain, with only two sets, all with the PT impression of acute musculoskeletal pain, with only hot moist pack applied on one set and TENS with the other. Effectivity of the two modalities were measured according to the degree of pain relief that each modality provided during and after application of such modalities, duration of pain relief and practicality of use for patients.
