Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
It is expected to find a difference in the effects of Dryneedling and Ischemic Compression techniques through thermography analysis and numerical pain scale in pre and post intervention values ??a difference of 1° C in the temperature of the trapezius and levator scapula muscles as in the pressure pain threshold in subjects with Myofascial Pain Syndrome

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
It is expected not to find a difference in the effects of Dryneedling and Ischemic Compression techniques through thermography analysis and numerical pain scale in pre and post intervention values ??a difference of 1° C in the temperature of the trapezius and levator scapula muscles as on pressure pain threshold in subjects with Myofascial Pain Syndrome
