简要总结
To determine the effects of Dry Needling and Strain Counter Strain Technique in Myofascial Trigger Points of Upper Trapezius
详细描述
It is Randomized Controlled trail will be conduct in Mayo Hospital Lahore and Alnoor Hospital Awan town Lahore. Non probability consecutive sampling technique will be used to collect the data. Each group contain the 14 patients, Patient will be divided into two groups. Group A will be experimental group treated by Dry needling and strain counter strain with baseline treatment and Group B will be control group treated by Strain counter strain with baseline treatment(Hot pack 10 mints,stretching,Neck isometrics). Neck Disability index (NDI) ,visual analogue scale(VAS) and goniometer will be used as data collecting tools.

结局指标
主要结局
Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS)
时间窗: 4 months
The Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) is a subjective measure in which individuals rate their pain on an eleven-point numerical scale. The scale is composed of 0 (no pain at all) to 10 (worst imaginable pain).
Range of Motion
时间窗: 4 months
Standard Goniometer will be used.Higher score shows improvement.
