Summary

A phonophoresis-based drug delivery system is a synchronous approach to improve local drug penetration in neuromuscular diseases associated with neuronal damage, excruciating pain, and local inflammation. Chitosan, a semi-synthetic material, is obtained by partial deacetylation of chitin amines, resulting in copolymers of N-acetylglucosamine and N-glucosamine. Its use has been explored in various biomaterial and medical applications. Chitosan has emerged as a cost-effective, biocompatible, and biodegradable material with many desirable biological properties, improvement of homeostasis and antiviral potential. Chitosan was found to suppress pro-inflammatory cytokines and decreased peripheral nerve edema, the polycationic nature of chitosan allows it to absorb protons, which reduces inflammation and provides an analgesic effect.

Detailed description

The patients will randomly be divided into two equal groups; the control group which will receive the selected exercise program and the study group will receive the same exercise training program in addition to Chitosan Phonophresis, three times per week for four weeks.
