简要总结
Trapezius muscle pain and tightness are common musculoskeletal issues that can significantly impair movement and quality of life. Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) and Bowen Therapy are gaining attention as non-invasive treatments for myofascial pain and tension.
详细描述
It will be single blinded randomized clinical trial (RCT). The study will be conducted on 26 participants which will be categorized into two groups. Group one will be given IASTM and group two will receive Bowen technique. Non-probability convenience sampling technique will be used for data collection at physiotherapy department at Fatima memorial hospital followed by lottery method of allocation of groups. Data will be collected by using visual analogue scale, goniometer and neck disability index.

结局指标
主要结局
Visual Analogue Scale
时间窗: 6 Months
Visual analogue scale is known pain assessment scale which was introduced by Hayes and Patterson in 1921. Its scoring range is from 0 to 10 where 0 shows no pain, 5 shows moderate pain and 10 shows worst pain.
Neck Disability Index
时间窗: 6 months
Neck disability index is used for the disability of the neck or the impact of neck pain on a person. This 10 item questionnaire is used to assess the patient overall quality of life as well as the personal ability to perform activities of daily living.
