Pain is the most common symptom most visible in the general population and the medical world. The World Health Organization (WHO) survey showed that of 26,000 primary care patients on five continents, 22% reported persistent pain more than a year which could lead to a significant increase in the number of surgeries and other invasive or invasive procedures, and also the main reason for users complementary and alternative medicine. The therapeutic methods used to treat the pain are several techniques including using Short Wave Diathermy (SWD) and therapy using Infrared lights. The use of phantom is used to measure and monitor the heat output provided by the source of therapy. In this study a measurement system was developed to monitor the rate of heat change in the invitro treatment process using phantom. Time of exposure for 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes. Distance of Infrared Exposure 30 cm, 40 cm and 50 cm. In the process of heat exposure, Philips Infraphil Infrared Type PAR38E/150 Watt lamps and Short Wave Diathermy (SWD) devices are used. From the results of the study, the measurement results using SWD on Sensor T1 with a depth of 1 cm has a variable temperature value of 37.063oC, Sensor T2 at a depth of 1.5 cm has a variable temperature value 37.074oC, Sensor T3 at a depth of 2 cm has a temperature variable 37.090oC and T4 sensor at 2.5 cm depth has a temperature variable of 37.107oC
