NCT05249660
Brief Summary:
Study will be randomized clinical trial. Data will be collected from non probability consecutive sampling technique. Total 30 participants from Ganga Ram Hospital and Care medical centre will be selected and randomly allocated to two different groups i.e Group A and Group B. . Group A will be treated by trigger point release. Group B will be treated by Instrument assisted soft tissue release. NPRS, GONIOMETRY, NDI will be used as outcome measuring tool before and after treatment. Data will be analyzed by using Statistical package for social sciences 25.
Detailed Description:
Trigger point is defined as a hyperirritable palpable nodule contained in the skeletal muscle fibers. The palpable nodule, also named taut band, is described as a limited number of fibers with an increased stiffness. Trp causes the muscles to week and stiff, leading to reduction in range of movement. MTrP can produce local and referred pain, either on manual compression or spontaneously.
Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) is the use of hard tools to manipulate soft tissue and was derived from the Cyriax1 cross-friction massage. It has recently emerged as a popular alternative to traditional manual therapy techniques. Modern-day IASTM instruments vary in material (e.g. stainless steel, plastic) and design and are used to improve a variety of musculoskeletal conditions and associated outcomes.
Manual technique that uses direct vertical pressure to the TP, is a well-established treatment method used to resolve the TP-related pain syndrome. This directed pressure is managed according to the therapist's perception of the tissue resistance of the treated soft tissue or according to the pain perceived by the patient based on a pain scale. Manual therapy is a commonly used treatment for MPS as it has been considered one of the most effective techniques for the inactivation of MTrPs.
