KT vs IASTM on Upper Trapezius Myofascial Trigger Points To Compare Effect of KT VS IASTM on Pain Intensity, Pain Pressure Threshold, Cervical Range of Motion and Functional Disability Level.
Sponsor: Reham Sayed Mesaed
Summary
This study would answer the following question: Is there a difference in the effects between IASTM and KT on pain intensity level, pain pressure threshold, cervical range of motion (ROM), functional disability level and satisfaction level in subjects with upper trapezius myofascial trigger points? The aims of this study are: 1. To investigate the effect of KT and IASTM on pain intensity level in subjects with upper trapezius myofascial trigger points. 2. To investigate the effects of KT and IASTM on pain pressure threshold in subjects with upper trapezius myofascial trigger points. 3. To investigate the effects of KT and IASTM on cervical range of motion (ROM) in subjects with myofascial trigger points. 4. To investigate the effect of KT and IASTM on functional disability level in subjects with upper trapezius myofascial trigger points. 5. To investigate the effects of KT and IASTM on satisfaction level in subjects with myofascial trigger points.
Official title: KINESIOTAPING VERSUS INSTRUMENT ASSISTED SOFT TISSUE MOBILIZATION ON UPPER TRAPEZIUS MYOFASCIAL TRIGGER POINTS: A RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL Kinesiotaping (KT) is a Non-invasive Method to Treat Musculoskeletal Disorders. it is Non-invasive, Painless, and Less Time-consuming Than Other Options With Fewer Side Effects. IASTM is a Traditional Chinese Therapy Known as "Guasha". IASTM is a Simple and Practical Technique
