Brief Summary

purpose of the study To investigate the effect of Kinesio-tape on treatment of nonspecific cardiac chest pain

Detailed Description

Nonspecific musculoskeletal chest pain is a major health problem and is a very common and functionally limiting pain complaint. Patients with this problem complain also of significant disability of daily living activities and lost productivity.

The clinical symptom of anterior chest pain generally elicits a long list of diagnoses, when cardiac and pleural conditions are excluded, conditions that affect the musculoskeletal system become important considerations.

The musculoskeletal structures of the thoracic wall and the neck are relatively common sources of chest pain, hypersensitive loci, named myofascial trigger points in the literature, are associated with the Pathophysiology and clinical manifestation of myofascial pain, Rhomboid Muscle trigger point can be a distressing cause of chest pain which can be effectively taken care of by Ischemic compression therapy. Rhomboid muscle trigger points are one of the major causes of nonspecific cardiac chest pain that make the patient seek treatment in different medical health care, but still there is a lake of scientific evidence that supports a particular treatment. Conducting the current study will find an additional solution for this problem.

Kinesio-Taping a technique highly appropriate in patients with soft tissue involvement and plays a major role in the deactivation of trigger points, KT is theorized to have several functions: (1) restoring correct muscle function by supporting weakened muscles, (2) reducing congestion by improving the flow of blood and lymphatic fluid, (3) decreasing pain by stimulating neurological system, (4) correcting misaligned joints by retrieving muscle spasm, and (5) enhancing proprioception through increased stimulation to cutaneous mechanoreceptors

traditional	traditional	the patient will receive traditional therapy
experimental	experimental	the patient will receive kinsiotape therapy

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
PAIN USING VIISUSL ANALOGE SCALE	up to 2 weeks	cm line with 0 (no pain) and 10 (killing pain). The patient places a mark along the line to detect his chest pain level.

Secondary Outcome Measures
