The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of kinesio tape and dry needling in the treatment of myofascial pain syndrome of the trapezius muscle.

Conditions

  • Myofascial Pain Syndrome of Neck

Interventions

OTHER

Kinesio Taping

Taping will be performed on sitting position with contralateral lateral flexion and flexion of the neck, using muscle technique with I strip and stretching the head at the maximum level in order to benefit from the muscle release effect. Kinesio tape was applied directly on muscle with 0% stretching.

OTHER

Dry needling

The trigger point on the taut band will be held with the thumb and forefinger from below and above. In the needling technique, a 0.25 \* 25-mm with nickel handle, disposable sterile steel acupuncture needle will be used. The needle tip will be inserted perpendicularly into the subcutaneous tissue and inserted into the muscle until the trigger point in the taut band was found. The same point will be pinned 8-10 times with fast needle movements inside and out. Then the needle tip will pulled back so that it did not come out of the skin, and the bottom, top and sides of the first entered point were also pinned. This procedure was applied to all trigger points in the trapeze muscle.
