Background: Hyperirritable and
palpable nodules called myofascial trigger points (MTPs) develop along taut
bands of muscle fibers. The muscles of the neck and shoulders are the most
typical sites to find them. The trapezius is the muscle that is most
commonly affected. Trigger points in the neck are seen in 85 percent of
individuals who visit pain clinics. MPS is most common in people between the
ages of 20 and 60, with a high frequency in sedentary people. These can lead to shortened and tight
muscles, which in turn will make it harder to move the joints in an appropriate
way and might even cause pain.
Purpose: This study was done to
examine the impacts of muscle energy technique versus spray as well as stretch
technique on trapezius trigger points in patients suffering from non-specific
neck pain
Methods: Sixty participants,
ranging in age from 20 to 60, were examined for non-specific neck
pain caused by trapezius trigger points. Three equal groups were formed by
random assignment. The spray and stretch approach was administered three times
weekly for four weeks to Group A (n=20). muscule energy technique
was administered three times weekly for four weeks to Group B (n=20).
Traditional physical therapy was administered to Group C (n=20) three times
weekly for a duration of four weeks: Visual Analogue Scale,
Neck Bournemouth questionnaire (NBQ), pressure algometry (PPT) and Cervical Range of motion (CROM) were measured at baseline and post
treatment.
