详细描述
The aim of our study was to investigate the short-term effects of ischemic compression applied in addition to classical massage in the treatment of myofascial trigger points on the upper trapezius muscle in women on pain, functionality and quality of life. "Visual Analog Scale (VAS)" was used for pain assessment of individuals who accepted to participate in the study; universal goniometer was used to measure active neck active range of motions (AROM) for functionality; and "Short Form-36 (SF-36)" was used for quality of life. Then, the participants were randomly divided into two groups [Group 1: classical massage group; Group 2: classical massage + ischemic compression group]. Classical massage was applied to both groups three times a week for two weeks, and ischemic compression was applied to Group 2 in addition to classical massage. At the end of the treatment period, the participants were re-evaluated in terms of VAS, neck AROM and SF-36 scores.Statistical analysis will be performed with SPSS 24.0 program. If the data is parametric, paired sample t-test will be used for within-group evaluation; independent sample t-test will be used for between-group evaluation. If the data is non-parametric, Wilson test will be used for within-group evaluation and Mann Whitney U test will be used for between-group evaluation.

结局指标
主要结局
Active Range of Motion
时间窗: at baseline and at week 2.
Active Range of Motion (AROM) measurement was evaluated using a universal goniometer. While the patient was in a sitting position, the pivot point, fixed arm and movable arm of the goniometer were placed in the specified reference areas. The patient was asked to actively perform neck flexion, extension, right-left lateral flexion and right-left rotation movements and the values at the end of the movements were recorded in degrees. AROM measurements were performed twice in total, before and after treatment.
Visual Analog Scale
时间窗: at baseline and at week 2.
Pain assessment was made with Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The subjects were informed that the number '0' on a 10 cm horizontal line indicated 'no pain' and the number '10' indicated 'unbearable pain'. The subjects were asked to mark the pain they felt on the VAS scale for 3 different areas, namely trapezius pain, neck pain and headache, and the points they marked were recorded as the severity of pain in cm. VAS measurements were performed twice in total, before and after treatment.
Short-Form 36
时间窗: at baseline and at week 2.
The Short Form-36 (SF-36) scale was used to assess quality of life. The lowest score represents the worst health status. SF-36 measurement was performed twice, before and after treatment.
