Summary

The aim of our study was to investigate the short-term effects of ischemic compression applied in addition to classical massage for the treatment of myofascial trigger points on the upper trapezius muscle in women on pain, functionality and quality of life.

Conditions

  • Trigger Point Pain, Myofascial

Interventions

OTHER

Classical massage

Classical massage was started by general stroking 3 times. Then, it was continued by kneading 3 times. After the kneading movement, fibrocytic nodules on the muscle were searched and friction was applied to the found nodules one by one. The massage of the muscle was completed by applying stroking 3 times. The application was carried out 3 times a week for 2 weeks to evaluate the short-term effect.

OTHER

Ischemic compression

Ischemic compression was applied to the trigger points in the upper trapezius muscle using an average pressure of 1 kg at a right angle, and after compression, passive stretching was applied to the upper trapezius muscle 3 times in 20-second periods. The application was performed 3 times a week for 2 weeks to evaluate the short-term effect.
