NCT05182346 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 45

Last updated 2022-03-08

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Chronic neck pain (CNP) attributed to myofascial pain syndrome (MFPS) which is one of the particularly common skeletal muscle disorder associated with the hyperirritable zone in the taut band of muscle. Myofascial trigger points (MTrP) are one of the most overlooked and ignored causes of musculoskeletal pain. This study aims to compare the clinical efficacy of acupressure of cervical acupoints versus ischemic compression release (ICR) of MTrPs in CNP.

Conditions

  • Manual Therapy
  • Neck Pain

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Manual therapy

* Acupressure of acupoints is manipulation of classic acupoints by pressure. * Ischemic compression release is applying pressure to the myofascial trigger points until release of these points.
