Brief Summary:
Comparison of dry needling and Thera Gun on treatment of Active trigger points of trapezius Muscle, pain threshold and Range of motion of neck.
Detailed Description:
Chronic neck pain related to the myo-facial systems from local muscle fiber contractions referred to "myo-facial trigger points" (MTrPs).MTrPs are highly sensitive spots that lie in the skeletal muscle, and are diagnosed with mechanical pressure, they can also develop as referral pain in a specific pattern. Although MTrPs are found in all muscle groups, they are more prevalent in the upper quarter postural muscles, especially the upper trapezius muscle.
Data will be collected from both gender patients having active trigger points in trapezius muscles. Then patients will be divided randomly into two groups. All patient will be given conventional treatment and then group A will be given treatment with Thera Gun and group B will be given dry needling treatment and then will compare effects of both.
To date, a wide range of physical therapy interventions have been suggested to address MTrPs including manual therapies (massage, stretching, myofascial release), electrotherapy modalities (surface heat, ultrasound, Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator and laser therapy) and invasive techniques such as dry needling (DN) but none of study is done on the effectiveness of facial gun in decreasing pain intensity and increasing range of motion and none of study compare the effect of Dry needling with facial gun. So, this study will determine the effect of facial gun on pain intensity and range of motion and compare that effect with dry needling.
