The majority of the functional scale before the intervention was moderate (65.4%) while after the intervention was mild (84.6%). From the results of the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test there was a significant difference with a p value <0.001 (significant p<0.05).

Conclusion: Hot compresses are effective in reducing the pain scale and functional scale where there is a significant decrease in the pain scale and functional scale after the hot compress intervention twice a day for seven days.
