Summary

A multitude of stretching parameters are used in the clinical setting. However, there is no convincing evidence to suggest which parameters are most effective in the management of chronic myofascial pain syndrome .In this regard, although the stretching duration is considered one of the most important variables that can affect the treatment outcome, to date there is little agreement on the most effective stretching duration.Accordingly ,we will conduct this study to investigate the effect of different stretching duration on nerve root function ,central conduction time, and chronic myofascial pain management outcomes.
