简要总结
This study aims to compare the effect of positional release technique and myofascial release technique along with static stretching in medical students with active trigger points in upper trapezius muscle. It is a two group pre-test-post-test group design, randomised clinical trial. Based on the inclusion criteria subjects from 18 to 24 year will be recruited. Consent to participate in the study shall be confirmed by filling the consent form by all students. Participants will be divided in to two groups: Group A- Positional Release Technique (PRT) + Static Stretching and Group B- Myofascial Release (MFR) + Static Stretching. Treatment will be given for 3 days a week for four weeks. Baseline measurement will be taken by Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) used to assess pain, Pain Pressure Threshold (PPT) used to assess tenderness, Neck Disability Index (NDI) used to assess neck disability and SF-36 used to assess quality of life of the patients.
