Brief Summary: Chronic neck pain CNP attributed to myofascial pain syndrome MFPS which is one of the particularly common skeletal muscle disorder associated with the hyperirritable zone in the taut band of muscle Myofascial trigger points MTrP are one of the most overlooked and ignored causes of musculoskeletal pain This study aims to compare the clinical efficacy of acupressure of cervical acupoints versus ischemic compression release ICR of MTrPs in CNP
Detailed Description: Nonspecific neck pain NSNP is the commonest cause of neck symptoms and results from postural and mechanical causesChronic neck pain CNP attributed to myofascial pain syndrome MFPS which is one of the particularly common skeletal muscle disorder associated with the hyperirritable zone in the taut band of muscle Myofascial trigger points MTrP are one of the most overlooked and ignored causes of musculoskeletal painThe objectives of this study is to compare the clinical efficacy of acupressure of cervical acupoints versus ischemic compression release ICR of MTrPs in CNP This single blind randomized trial involves patients with NSNP were randomly assigned into three groups the acupressure group ACG and the ischemic compression release group ICRG and the control group CG Patients in all groups received hot packs and post-isometric relaxation Patients in ACG received acupressure at local acupuncture points Gall bladder 21 GB 21 small intestine 14 SI 14 and SI 15 and the ICRG received pressure on MTrPs of trapezius muscle on both sides VAS sores pressure pain threshold PPT neck lateral flexion range of motion and neck disability index NDI were assessed before and after 4 weeks of treatment
