Summary

Objectives: To investigate the effects of myofascial release therapy (MRT) on pain, number of trigger points (TP), pressure pain threshold (PPT), cervical range of motion (ROM), neck disability, and quality of life in the neck pain due to cervical myofascial pain syndrome (MPS).

In this prospective study, patients in Group I (n=30) underwent a standard physical therapy program. Patients in Group II (n=30) additionally underwent MRT 3 days a week. Before and on the 15th day after treatment, patients' pain was measured by visual analog scale (VAS), TP numbers by palpation, PPTs by pressure algometer, cervical ROM by goniometer, disability by Neck Disability Index (NDI) and quality of life by Nottingham Health Profile (NHP) was evaluated.

Conditions

  • Myofacial Pain Syndromes

Interventions

OTHER

myofascial release

Myofascial release therapy (MRT) is a manual therapy technique that involves gradual stretching by a therapist or the individual, acting on the muscles and surrounding fascia. Its effects include increasing joint range of motion and mobility of soft tissues, eliminating imbalances in muscle tone, reducing muscle pain, reducing stress on joints, and increasing neuromuscular efficiency.
