简要总结
This study aims to compare the effectiveness of Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) and Handheld Vibration Therapy in treating upper trapezius trigger points in individuals with Myofascial Pain Syndrome. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an ESWT group or a vibration therapy group. In ESWT groups will receive treatment two times per week for three weeks and in vibration therapy group will receive treatment three times per week for three weeks along with a common standard exercises home exercise program and ergonomic care.
Pain intensity, pressure pain threshold, cervical range of motion and neck disability index to asses how pain impact on daily activities and overall functional disability will be measured before and after the intervention period. The study seeks to determine which modality is more effective in reducing pain and improving function. Findings from this study may help guide evidence-based, non-invasive physiotherapy management of upper trapezius myofascial pain
