Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Sports and Physical Education (IOSR-JSPE) - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
This study aims to find out immediate effects of therapeutic laser and stretching versus dry needling and stretching on pain and cervical lateral flexion ROM in subjects with myofascial trigger point in upper trapezius muscle. Study was conducted on 30 patients which were divided into 2 groups, 15 patients in each group. Patient aged 18-50 years were included in the study. Cervical lateral flexion ROM, pressure pain threshold and NPRS was assessed.Analysis using paired t test found that there is a statistically extremely significant improvement in ROM, pain intensity and threshold in group A whereas statistically significant improvement in pain threshold and NPRS for group B; except for ROM which showed extreme statistical improvement. Analysis using unpaired t test found that there is no statistical difference in improving ROM and pressure pain threshold except for NPRS which was statistically significant between group A and B.This study concludes that both the techniques are equally effective in decreasing pain and improving cervical ROM in subjects with upper trapezius trigger point. Clinically more improvement was seen in group B as compared to group A.
