Journal Title: International Journal of Allied Medical Sciences and Clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Myofascial trigger point is a hyperirritable spot, usually within a taut band of skeletal muscle or in the muscle fascia which is painful on compression and can give rise to characteristic referred pain and motor dysfunction. The aim of this study was “Effectiveness of Ischemic compression v/s Myofascial release on myofascial trigger points of upper trapezius”. The study design was Experimental. Patients (n 30) were randomly assigned to group a (n 15) treated with myofascial release and cryotherapy and group b (n 15) treated with ischemic compression and cryotherapy and they were assessed at baseline and after 7 days. Outcome measures included pain intensity by visual analog scale and neck disability index. Statistical analysis was done using paired t-test. Post treatment analysis suggests significant result among groups. The ischemic compression (group B) shows greater significant improvement in vas (p=0.0001), neck disability index (p=0.0001) compared to myofacial release (group A).The result shows that there is significant between ischemic compression and myofascial release in reducing pain of trigger point upper trapezius. Ischemic compression shows greater effectiveness as compared with Myofacial release in treatment of trigger point pain of upper trapezius.
