Effect of Thoracic Manipulation on Latent Trigger Point
- Conditions
- Trigger Points
- Registration Number
- NCT05554887
- Lead Sponsor
- Pamukkale University
- Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of one session thoracic manipulation on pressure pain threshold and rhomboid muscle strength in healthy individuals with latent trigger point.
- Detailed Description
Within the scope of the study, all individuals studying at Sarayköy Vocational School and volunteering to participate in the study will be screened.Immediately after determining the latent trigger points in the rhomboid muscles, the participants will be randomized by computer method and divided into 2 groups. Participants who underwent thrust thoracic manipulation will form the study group, and participants who received sham thrust thoracic manipulation will form the control group.Pressure pain threshold will be evaluated with an algometer and rhomboid muscle strength will be evaluated with a hand dynamometer.
