Summary

The aim of this research is to compare the effect of integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique and myofascial release on pain, pain pressure threshold and shoulder disability in patients with rhomboid muscle. Randomized controlled trials will be done at Benazir Bhutto Hospital. The sample size is 32. The subjects will be divided in two groups, 16 subjects in integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique group and 16 in myofascial release group. Study duration will be of 6 months. Sampling technique applied will be non-probability purposive sampling technique. Only 25-45 years patients with shoulder/mid back pain and the presence of atleast one trigger point in rhomboid muscles will be included. Tools used in the study are algometer, shoulder pain and disability index (SPADI) and Numeric pain rating scale (NPRS). Data will be analyzed through SPSS 21.

Conditions

  • Trigger Point Pain, Myofascial

Interventions

OTHER

Integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique

Ischemic compression will be applied for 90 seconds followed by the SCS technique with a reduction in pain of at least 70%. it will be held for 20-30 sec followed by the Muscle energy technique in which the isometric contraction will be held for 7-10 sec and then the stretch will be held for 30 sec. This will be repeated 5 times per session with a 30-second rest interval in between each repetition Session will be held 3 times per week for 2 consecutive weeks

OTHER

Myofascial Release

Deep sustained pressure on the trigger points will be applied with thumb in 5-7/10 pain tolerance and maintained for 60 seconds and then will be released in a vertical direction followed by stretch of the rhomboid muscle held for 30 sec. This Sustained manual pressure will be applied for 3 times each followed by a stretch per session with a 30 sec rest interval in between .Session will be held 3 times per week for 2 consecutive weeks.
