    Time frame: 4 weeks

    Pain level will be assessed for both groups (A&B) before and after treatment program by using (VAS). scores are based on self-reported measures of symptoms that are recorded with a single hand written mark placed at one point along the length of a10 cm line."0 cm" means no pain."10cm" means maximum pain.

  2. Pressure Algometer

    Time frame: 4 weeks

    Pain threshold for each woman in both groups (A&B) will be measured before and after the treatment program by using "Pressure Algometer" .
