Adductor-related pain is known as the most common cause of groin pain. This study was a two arm parallel groups randomized sham-controlled superiority trial.
A total of 22 male professional athletes mean age Both groups received stretching exercises. All outcomes were assessed at baseline, after 5 sessions, after 10 sessions, and one month after treatment. P -value was set at 0.
A total of 22 male athletes were included 11 in each group , with a mean age of TECAR therapy was associated with significant reductions in pain intensity across all evaluation sessions. However, no statistically significant differences were found for other secondary outcomes, with effect sizes ranging from no effect to intermediate.
The results of this study suggest that TECAR therapy may reduce pain and improve hip adduction range of motion in athletes with adductor-related groin pain. The prevalence of groin pain is notably high in athletes engaged in activities such as running, kicking, executing explosive turns, and making sudden changes in acceleration or direction of movement [ 1 ]. Adductor tenderness and pain on resisted adduction testing are the diagnostic criteria for adductor-related groin pain [ 4 , 6 ].
