Comparison of Ischemic Release and Sustained Pressure Direct Myofascial Release in Upper Trapezius Trigger Point
This randomized controlled trial aims to compare the clinical effectiveness of ischemic release and sustained pressure direct myofascial release for upper trapezius trigger points.
The study will compare their effects on pain pressure threshold, cervical range of motion, and scapular upward rotation following a two-week intervention.

Gedetailleerde beschrijving
Eligible participants will be recruited through purposive sampling. Upper trapezius trigger points will be assessed by manual palpation to identify a taut band and hypersensitive nodule, followed by pressure to determine reproduction of the participant's familiar pain. Baseline assessments will include pain pressure threshold, cervical range of motion, and scapular upward rotation. After baseline assessment, 42 participants will be allocated randomly into respective groups, each having 21 participants.

Experimenteel: Ischemic Release
|
Participants will receive a two-week physiotherapy program with three sessions per week. Each session will include heat application followed active ROM and passive stretching. Participants in Group A will receive ischemic compression in addition to standard physiotherapy. Pressure should be applied via thumb for 20 second - 1 minute until pain decreases or muscle begin to relax.

Experimenteel: Sustained pressure direct myofascial release
|
Participants will receive a two-week physiotherapy program with three sessions per week. Each session will include heat application followed active ROM and passive stretching. Participants in Group B will receive sustained pressure direct MFR in addition to standard physiotherapy. Apply pressure to the trigger point for 8-20 seconds, maintaining it until a physical "discharge" or release is felt, which may take five minutes or more. |

Pain Pressure Threshold
Tijdsspanne: Baseline and after 2 weeks.
|
Pain pressure threshold will be measured using a Wagner digital pressure algometer, apply perpendicular to the identified upper trapezius trigger point with gradually increasing pressure. The pressure at which the participant first perceived pain was recorded as the pain pressure threshold (PPT) in kg/cm². |
Baseline and after 2 weeks.

Cervical range of motion
Tijdsspanne: Baseline and after 2 weeks
|
Cervical ROM will be assessed using a goniometer. |
Baseline and after 2 weeks

Scapular upward rotation
Tijdsspanne: Baseline and after 2 weeks
|
Scapular upward rotation will be assessed using a bubble inclinometer. |
