They were randomized into three groups. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Interventions: Group A (n = 10) was treated with exercise programme. Pulsed ultrasound was given to group B (n = 10). Group C (n = 10) received transverse friction. All patients received three treatments per week for four weeks. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Outcomes: Patients' pain was evaluated at the end of the four-week course of treatment (week 4), one month (week 8) and three months (week 16) after the end of treatment. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Results: The exercise programme was statistically significantly better than the other two treatments at the end of treatment (x<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> = 12.21, p &lt; 0.01), one month (x<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> = 23.2, p &lt; 0.001) and three months (x<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> = 23.2, p &lt; 0.001) after the end of the treatment. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Conclusion: Although the results suggested that the exercise programme was more effective treatment than ultrasound and transverse friction at the end of the treatment as well as at the follow-ups, future controlled studies are needed to establish the relative and absolute effectiveness of each of the three treatment interventions.
